 | MaxScript Blinker v0.5 on page two I've been learning MaxScript for the last couple of days, and thnx to dub. at Maxforums - Dub's Maxscript Tutorial Index and tutorials there, i've made my first script called Randomizer!  As you can probably see from the title it randmises stuff. . It Scales, Rotates, and Moves the object according to it's local coordinate system.All you have to do is enter values you want object to move/scale/rotate within and hit Randomize! For example: you've got 100 boxes that you got with array tool, but you dont want them to be all the same height, you need Randomizer , you select all of them enter values (for example you need their height not to be below 8 and not above 15) so you enter your min and max values in desired axis (in this case z axis) and hit Randomize!Instalation: Place script in max script folder, open max go > maxscript in menu > run script, select Randomizer, then it will run the script...Then go costumize > costumize UI >toolbars>category>mpTools...then just drag it onto desired toolbar. any questions i'm here! |

| Awesome! Well done man. Perhaps we could talk to Norman and Ace about getting a new section for scripts in the downloads section... |

| Nice, I've just started learning Maxscript myself. My first script, though incomplete, is a little utillity based on Lattice that allows you to construct a 'scaffold' based on the wireframe of a template object from custom geometry. Seems Maxscript could be very usefull for some modelling tasks, but will really shine in helping to rig models, especially ships. Like automatically animating a weapons turret to track a target, like a lookat but more complex, or automatic landing gear animations. |

| thx guys! Nice idea Spry, perhaps we have more coders then we know  Cool idea for a script citizen! And i agree, making pipelines, and automating repetitive tasks is what maxscript is all about! |

   | nice one, definitely... I think we should get a SFM script-spot that we can upload scripts like maxscript, l-scripts, mel, etc... files and discuss them codes for improvements and additional features. |

| Thx guys! Here is the new and for now final version v0.5 major addition - noise modificator here is the example: first one is before and the second one is after applying the randomizer! And the third one is current interface! |
