3DSMax - Using Out of Range loop on multi-animation timeline

[? 3DsMax] Character modeling tools and technique question.
Hi everyone! Couple questions... What add-ons/scripts would you all suggest for character modeling? I've seen some nice things with PolyBoost, but does it work for 2012 max? The characters I want to be making would be high poly models for artistic purposes (and to learn something new to get me inspired) and not so much… -

3dsmax mental ray image sampling on normal maps
Im not a mental ray user (vray and brazil). The scanline renderer is too slow for me to use (2.5 star super sampling with about a half million polygons at 4096 resolution).
