View attachment 2218 How to install: is MAcroscript drag and drop to viewer How to use: Select object, press "read Material" All materials are listed. To edit the material simply click on the name. The slot 24 has to be free it is used to edit the material. Is created an instance of the material selected for the slot 24. So the changes are saved in the right place. Update v1 bugs fixed.

I forgot to include check if object is editable poly.. so the object must be Editable poly .. next version. will be correct
great tool. i know nothing about scripting i wish i did is there a script that when you click on a area like the track to be able to bring up the sub materials for the let say the track road texture or even having a separate way to edit the materials in a script like track main racegroove spec and so on ??
need more info. open the script in MAXscript editor then run the script. When you get the error the line in editor will be gray. copy the line and paste here
for subid=1 to matslot.count while findid == 0 do ( --if (debug) then format "slot:% submat:% \n" slotid subid if ( (stricmp matslot[ subid].name submat.name) == 0 ) then ( findid=slotid if (debug) then format "slot:% submat:% \n" slotid subid ) ) ) else
try new version of script. The max 2012 have new materials editor. Can use the old material editor? i don't have max 2012 but maybe in internet i found a fix.
New version v1.1 Bugs fixed.. New : Geometry tool Can create Elements from Polygons. Select Vertex from Polygons or Elements Download in first post.
Hm, that would mean you could spline-map the groove texture exactly to the fastline of the AI, correct?
