Random Rotate Maxscript Version 1.1

I’ve changed how random rotate works, and added a few new features. First of all, rotation now uses quaternion, which is better than euler rotation. I was converting euler angles to quats, this was getting rid of the gimbal lock, but it was not enough for adding new ways of rotation to the script.

So, with new version, you are now able to rotate an object randomly bu using objects’ local or world coordinates, or the screen coordinate itself. Also, it is now possible to use the selection center, or another object’s pivot.

I don’t know where you can use these new features, but it was fun building them in. Have fun

Here are some screenshots:

Random Material Assigner for Objects with Multiple MaterialIDs

Works on one or multiple object selections. Script detects the materialID count and creates a multi-sub material(s) for the selected object(s), and changes the diffuse channel with a random color. If there is only one materialID on the object, script simply creates a standart material.

As this is a macroscript, after running it, you need to add it to a quad menu, or an icon on a toolbar, or to a menu. Script’s category is “emrahgunduz.com”.

Keep these in mind

• Created materials are named after the object’ own name.
• Materials in the multi-sub object will be “Standard”.
• Changes diffuse channel color with a random one.
• Works only with poly, mesh or patch object. There is no nurbs or basic object support.

Random Scale Maxscript

This one, as you can guess, randomly changes the scale of the selected objects. You can scale in uniform, or any axis alone or together.

Script allows you to scale any object. Plus you can randomly scale incrementally. This will cause objects get bigger and bigger (or smaller and smaller, depending on the random multiplier).

Randomly Delete Objects With Maxscript

The script randomly deletes meshes from the selection. As the script depends on the random numbers created by 3dsmax, the percentage can be %0-1 off what you expected. Just select the meshes you want to randomly delete. Enter a percentage, click the Delete button.
