Wire Colorizer

If you’re tired of 3dsmax Auto-saving and freezing when you are working, this script is for you. It’s based on an idea of Vincent Lacour.   installation :

• Put the file in the Scripts/startup folder of your 3dsmax installation.
• Restart 3dsmax

  How it works :

• When you start 3dsmax you’ll notice a new tool at the bottom left of your UI.
• If you right click on the biggest button, you’ll see a few options :

– off to turn it off,

– restart to restart the countdown

– and a few timing options

• If you choose a time interval the button starts to count the time.
• It doesn’t save automatically your file. When the chosen time interval is reached, the button starts to blink in red, so you know you should save.
• To save your file, just clic on the big button to replace the file, use the + to increment or “As” to save as.
• Each time you save with these buttons the countdown is restarted.
