KeyTools
This is an assortment of tools for the curve editor.
BIP_Explorer
This tool lists BIP animation in the selected folder. It's perfect if you have hundreds of BIP from a mocap shoot.
Frame Number
When enabled this tool displays the frame number, time, and perfect through an animation relative to the start frame.
Mirror Morphs
This tool will help create mirrored morph targets. First initialize the model to find matching vertices, then edit one side of the model.
Who's My Quad?
This tool will select all non quad polygons in the selected edit poly object.
Skin Weight Tools
This is a group of simple tools used with the skin modifier.
ReOrder Objects
This tool allows you to adjust the object creation order. Handy if you are having alpha sorting issues.
CenterPivot2Origin
This tool simply centers the pivot for selected objects and moves them to the origin.
Toggle NurmsLevel
This tools cycles Nurms iterations from 1 to 2 to off.
Increment TurboSmooth
This tool will increase Turbosmooth iterations by 1 on the selected objects (Upper limit is 5 iterations). Holding the Shift key will decrease.
TCB Presets
This tool will adjust biped key TCB properties with presets.
Texture Area
This tool will report how much of a texture sheet you are using in percent. For example a mirrored character UV's should use close to 200% of a texture.
Skin2Physique*
This tool allows you to convert Physique Modifiers to Skin Modifiers and back. For Max 9 and older.
MirrorWeights (Physique)*
This tool will help you mirror Physique skinning. For Max 9 and older.
*(Unfortunately Skin2Physique and MirrorWeights only work with 3ds Max 9.0 and older. For newer versions of 3ds Max, the best way to convert a Physique Modifier to a Skin Modifier is to export to an FBX file and then re-import into the same scene. Then bake the imported Skin with the Skin Utilities. Finally, transfer them to the original model and bones. This link to the Max Help file has info on how to use the Skin Utilities.)
Macro_PolyCounter
This tool displays the correct number of triangles for selected objects. For Max 9 and older.
Remove Edge Loops and Rings
This tool removes edge loops or rings. For Max 6 and older.
