Located here are various downloadable files that were not provided in any of the other sections of this web site Some of these downloadable files include scripts and various documents that I have created.

Maxscripts (R4 compatible)

Reset Xform Box Trick - Written by Logan Foster (updated 08/25/2005). A simple maxscript that automates the box trick process of resetting an objects transform after you have scaled it. This script allows you to either choose an individual geometry node to reset or to reset the entire scene. This new release has been updated so that it is now non-destructive to the hierarchy that you have setup and saves out object property data that you have defined.
