For those who may have missed this,
Patrick Macdonald of reForm studio has created a tool(WIP) which is used for editing any class and their properties, subanims, node and vray properties, here's how he describes the tool:
Some of you may remember the 'Material Lister' I wrote a while ago. I've been working on an update for some time now, and as is typical of such a project, it has ballooned out of all proportion.
In summary, it's a tool for viewing and editing any class and their properties, subanims, node and vray properties in an easily filterable and customisable spreadsheet UI. It has the potential to completely change the way you work in 3dsmax allowing you to quickly navigate all types of object and property all within one UI. Do you need to check the difference between two materials/lights/modifiers/cameras/render-elements/etc? Easy. Need to increase the subdivs on multiple materials? easy. Need to select all objects with any modifier/material/map/controller/? Set selected objects to vray matte?
He is looking for feedback, you can check the main thread about the tool here:
