Looking for 3Ds Max model analyzer tool

YannickStoot

Hi guys!

This is my first post so correct me if this is not the right place. But I am looking for a tool in 3Ds max to get me info about my scene/model. I am currently optimizing a car model which is quite well modeled. However. I would like to get info like mesh density per object so I don't spend too much time on areas that are not important. The links posted in the Polycount wiki were not sufficient or broken.

Would love to see a reply! Thanks in advance!

Click the big Max button>properties>summary info.

Right click selected mesh>object properties

Right click the '+' top left of viewport>configure viewport>statistics tab>customise it>use the '7' hotkey to toggle the display

The Last 2 were things I knew but damnn... I've been using this program for 7 years and never seen the Summary info...! Thanks!

Nobody remembers the good old Polygon Counter utility ?
( Utilities Panel->More...->Polygon Counter, you can put it out to your main utility button set )

Even got a polygon budget slider you can adjust, so that you see when you hit the limit on an object

Haha! I'd completely forgotten all about that. I did used to use it years ago, before '7' hotkey was introduced.

You can use the Scene Explorer and add the Faces column.



If you want to add the verts column run this script then Verts will show up in the column picker.

(
 	--ADD CUSTOM PROPERTIES TO SCENE EXPLORER
	fn getVertCount theNode =
	(
	 	(GetTriMeshFaceCount theNode)[2]
	)

	SceneExplorerManager.addReadOnlyProperty "Verts" getVertCount
)
