I've currently got a full time job as a 3d artist, part time teaching it as a second job, and a few commitments to personal projects like involvement in Beyond Skyrim. I'm finding it a little maddening, constantly clicking through an endless number of folders to find this or that thing that I exported on this day for that…
I simply: - save my UI presets (colors, tabs, keyboard shortcuts); - keep track of all the MCRs I install(ed) manually and keep a copy of them near my backup of the UI presets (that way I just have to drop them in UI>Macroscripts in the newer Max).

Here it is, since his old site seems to be down : // Multi OBJ Tool v1.1// -------------------// Tools for dealing with large amounts of OBJ…
hmm, how much RAM/GPU do you have? my laptop is pretty shitty and it can handle painting just fine without too many slow downs, but i haven't yet experienced a not responding message. are you executing max as administrator? if not, try that. the script generates and edits in real time four bitmaps in a folder that is…
The preferences are almost 100% interchangable, The biggest difference is the last opened files and the like, because of filepaths, obviously.
