UV Snapper

Johan Steen — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 00:15:18 +0000

This LScript for UV Map snapping contains three modes:

Average – this will just move all selected UV’s to their “average center”.
Pairs – select your UV points in order (ie. point 1 to point 2, point 3 to point 4, etc) and this will update them all. Handy for small tweaks and fixes.
Nearest – This will automatically find the closest UV point and move them together. Tolerance is used if you wanted to force points to only adjust if the spacing between UV’s is smaller then this value.

GroundFog

Johan Steen — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:25:42 +0000

This fog plugin one has a more natural falloff than LightWave’s built-in linear falloff and it is capable of much more variety as far as the look of the falloff. And, like LW’s ground fog, it’s a full Volumetric plugin, and shows up in shadows, reflections and refractions.

SplineLength

Johan Steen — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:24:08 +0000

SplineLength is a Modeler plugin that computes the total length of any splines you have selected. It properly accounts for ends being visible / invisible.

Velvet shader

Johan Steen — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:22:58 +0000

Velvet is a velvet shader. It works with raytraced shadows, shadow-mapped shadows, and area lights. You can adjust the specular highlight color, too!

Furrify

Johan Steen — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:21:43 +0000

This Image Filter script adds 3D fuzz to your surfaces as a post-process. Handy for adding a quick bit of fuzz to still images.

Glass Thickener

Johan Steen — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:19:52 +0000

GThick2 does thickness-attenuated color filtering. It uses a physically-based model, and you can even simulate semi-opaque materials such as apple cider and milk.

GammaRight

Johan Steen — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:17:51 +0000

Shader plugin that corrects the gamma in colors to a linear space.

QuadSew

Johan Steen — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:15:18 +0000

QuadSew is a plugin for Modeler that “sews” pairs of quads together, kind of like Skin does, except that it uses quads instead of triangles to do the sewing and it deletes the original two quads. Plus, unlike Skin, QuadSew knows which way around the skin should go!

HD Random

Johan Steen — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:13:21 +0000

HD Random is a plugin for Modeler that lets you move polygons around randomly, without their points going all mishy mashy. Just drag in the direction you want to move the polygons, and squeal with delight as they jump about randomly, yet still keep their individual shapes

copyUV

Johan Steen — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 21:14:05 +0000

Modeler plugin which copies the current selected UV map into the clipboard. This tool has been created to quickly copy the current selected UV map to the clipboard in the most common used resolutions. This method greatly enhances speed exporting UV maps to external graphic applications.
