1. simple 3ds max script needs testing! Default wireframe and material colors...

   I've written a tiny tiny script to aid my OCD when modeling in 3ds max. I prefer black wireframes on a default gray material. The script currently handles everything, just install it and start modelling. I'm hoping to just get some feedback / testing done. The goal in the future is to allow the end user to choose which…

   Might be a bit overkill for what you want, but it might help to take a look at Paul Neale's script. http://paulneale.com/scripts/autoMaterial/autoMaterial.htm

   This is bad ass Tyler! As for Paul Neale's script, I could never get it to work on max2008 here at work for some reason. Not sure why.

   Cool. Should be simple enough to not re-assign a mat when doing a clone, instance for ref. Thanks!

   Looks like I answered my own question after testing - it always defaults to #24 :) Good work man :)
