Hi ! I've found this script, lurking on cgtalk. i didn't see any thread about hotbox on PC (except one where Pior says he's in love with quadmenus) http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/max-hotbox ! it says it doesn't work on max 2012, but apparently it's ok with SP1 I know there have been some attempt at it but this…
Andreas Meissner here. "I've been waiting a long time for this, I had given up on it since the page wasn't updated for almost a year." True hehe, it took a very long time from vaporware to software. "You still need to click on the button unlike maya though. Someone proposed him on scriptspot, but i'm not sure if it could…
The quad menu has 4 sections and everything must be stacked inside one of those 4 categories, you can't choose the position of the menus/buttons, it's just 4 lists of commands and your command either goes up or down the list. Spacial placement can be pretty important and easier for artists to remember (especially if they…
I've noticed Andreas Meissner, the creator of the script, of this thread. first statements : -It needs a proper .mzp installer and installs the scripts in the 3ds max directories. Actually it uses the unzipped file location :O (make it Norman3d Maxscript Manager complient ? ) -The tool disapears when i reboot max (menu…
Added a small autostart script because a lot of people mentioned it. There is now a new file in the Max Hotbox folder called "MaxHotboxAutostart.ms". If you already use Max Hotbox then you should just copy this single file into your Max Hotbox folder so you can continue using your existent configuration. Just drag and drop…
Lots of wise words ;] I had same experience after trying modo. Came back to max and first thing I did was furious googling to find pie menu script for 3dsmax... unfortunately no luck. Did a lot of key binding in max script and now still looking for ways to add something new to my workflow. When you have really good hotkeys…
Ace-Angel > Yes. You can also display both at the same time while pressing 2 keys, which is a new bug ! You get 1 groovy point. Don't u guys have any problem when you relaunch max ? i have to launch the script manually each time. Honestly, this has potential but there's a lot of unwanted behaviors. It's an open beta though.
I would say hot-boxing (see what I did there?) some of your more common used tools alongside multi-purpose Scripts should get the job done, but as Kaze said, I don't see how having 3/4 of my screen covered in hovering boxes will aid me that much. Unless we can put a Box in a Box? In which case, the author better call it…
Oh sweet! Its finally out of private beta and out to the public, I've been waiting a long time for this, I had given up on it since the page wasn't updated for almost a year. Its one of the things I really miss from Maya. This script and Outliner improve the functionality of max 2-3 times over, provided it works like it…
Yeah that's bad that you can't type in textfields. I'm trying to think of a solution. A workaround would be if youre using keys like CTRL and ALT in addition. To fix it I would need to get the handle of the currently active control (which is possible) and get the class of the control to see if it's a textbox (dunno if…
