3D Scripts, Plugins and Tools

A collection of scripts and plugins I’ve written for LightWave 3D and modo. It happens when I work on different projects that I need functionality not available out of the box, and that I can’t find a plugin that already provides it. At that time I might forget that I really don’t code anymore and end up putting something together to fill the void, speed up the workflow and get the project done.

I have tons of these kind of specialized plugins that have been born over the years, but they are all pretty hard coded and customized for a specific project and purpose and wouldn’t be of much use to others. Though when I have some time to spare I make some effort to clean some of them up, make them more generic and and test them for a while so I know that they work properly. Then they will end up here.

They are all free, so if you find any use of these plugins and scripts, download and enjoy!

LightWave 3D Layout Plugins // Scripts

  • Open FiberFX
    Simple script that let’s you add a button for the FiberFX interface in Layout’s menu.
  • Render Presets
    Render Presets lets you manage a library of different common rendering related settings to quickly organize, apply or switch between them.

LightWave 3D Modeler Plugins // Scripts

  • ASE Spline Import
    Imports splines into modeler from Autodesk’s ASCII Scene Export. Great when you have styled hair guides in an external application.
  • Conform By UV
    Conforms the mesh to another mesh by matching their UV layout. Useful for situations like bringing in morphs from ZBrush, or when point order has been broken.
  • Fix Symmetry
    Uses point selections to correct symmetry in a non destructive way or to track down symmetry errors.
  • SaveIncBack
    Saves the current object with incremental backups.
  • SymmXMirror
    Restores lost symmetry in a model by automatically deleting one side of the object and mirroring the other side.
  • Transfer By UV
    Transfers Vertex Maps from one mesh to another mesh by matching their UV layout. Useful when proportions differ or point order has been broken.

modo Scripts

Mixed Tools

  • Turntable Flash Viewer
    A flash application to display a turntable or a turntable gallery on web pages. Using rendered image sequences or animation clips.
