Relink Bitmaps v1.15
http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/relink-bitmaps
This script relinks missing bitmaps in scenes. It searches directories recursively unlike the Bitmaps/Photometric utility. Also features “Interactive Mode”, which allows you to easily see which object is missing the bitmap. If you have missing bitmaps in your scene, this will be your best friend.
After being frustrated with Max’s Photometic/Bitmap path plugin, I decided to write my own. Some features of mine that are not included in the plugin are:
1. Fast Recursive Directory searching (searches my c:\ drive for missing bitmaps in less than a minute)
2. Find Bitmaps – by name or path
Allows the user to type in any part of the filename or path (case-insensitive)
and populates the Material editor with the materials dependent on the seach string.
Instructions:
1. Type all or part of a filename or path and press find
2. Check the material editor for all materials that are dependent on your search string
For example: typing "Brick.jpg" will populate the material editor with all the materials with "Brick.jpg" in the filename or path
For example: typing "bri" will populate the material editor with a file or pathname containing "bri" including
"brick.jpg", "redbrick.jpg", "brick_bump.jpg", etc
For example: typing "c:\" will populate the material editor with all bitmaps that have "c:\" in their path allowing
allowing you to isolate and change them manually.
3. Interactive Mode – allows the user to isolate just the objects with missing bitmaps and more
4. Undo toggle and other speed enhancements
Update 1.15 – Added support for finding individual maps based on path/name
More user Feedback
Support for finding hidden bitmaps in Unwrap_UVW modifiers (thanks Brittnell!)
Hope someone finds it useful
