Version 1.0 news below here

---

The Doit! Version1 panel for 3ds max has seen a few changes, removals and additions!
- The grid button has been changed from just a grid button, to: a grid button, a snap toggle button and 4 grid preset buttons! 1, 1.5, 5 & 10
- The "Embed Shape" button can now embed multiple meshes. (now uses: meshname+smesh2)
- The "3p+Render" button adds a 3 point lighting scheme to your scene, renders the active viewport and then cleans those scene additions used for the rendering. (see video) This is helpful to show off work or to make nicer images for file storing/archiving.
- A dsq export button has been added but without error checking, so be sure your data is correct!
- 2 dae export buttons added, 1 for the scene and 1 for selections. The selected export button uses the mesh's name as the filename to export.

- BIG CHANGE: The Extra Collision Shapes Section!
This section has 6 primitive shapes for your choice for your col-1 volume!!! ...Also, this has the ability to change sides or segment counts on 4 of the 6 selectable col-volume types! Example: If you need a cylinder collision volume...you got it!..if you need a cylinder collision volume that will roll as smooth as possible...you got the ability to do it with a simple digit change in the panel! You can make low poly sphere collision-volumes or high poly sphere collision-volumes with uber minimal clicking!(more to see on this in the video)

Version 0.8.3 news below here

---

I wrote this maxscript panel "Doit!" because I found myself spending too much time on dts setup & processing for exports.
Now, what used to take me several dozen mouse clicks and a few minutes to achieve, is now done in seconds with 1 click!
Yes, 1 click and Yes, in seconds!!

With 1 click I can export an Epoly model(doesn't need to be changed to a mesh, the script does it for you) with bounds, box
collision and 2 lods(the detail2-mesh is autogenerated to 33% vertex count). This includes all of the necessary nodes and
parenting. - If you want your model to have 4 (autogenerated) detail levels. It is a mere 3 clicks in Doit!...all in the same panel!
I setup and exported this static model with 4 lod levels, as fast as: Load, click, click, save. Done!

Now what used to take you minutes to setup a few LODs, can be done in 3 clicks! Seriously.
I love Doit!...and I think you will too!

Here is the current v0.8b Doit! panel:

I made a video to quickly explain the buttons seen in the panel..12 minutes of power packed information!

hd.avi here | codec if needed

I hope you guys/gals like what you see so far.
I plan to extend the features seen and add more features even though it is a great tool as it currently stands!
The video explains a good amount of the details...but here is a bit more...


Thanks for reading,
