Sculptris

Sculptris is a work-in-progress sculpting tool by DrPetter, that I have no time to test it personaly, but I received good feedback about the program from my friends. As they say, working with the program is easy (compared to z-brush), and it is a free. Sculptris home page.

Align Verts

I wrote this mini tool a week ago to help on a request in bulgarian 3d forum (3dbg.com). The issue was to align verts to desired position by given axis. I add 2 links below, in case you have any problem to download the script from the direct link, you can get it from my script page too.

Everything goes to hell in my country

Is amazing in what time we live... as the Law is a hole in the sea... after a week without internet connection (I live in central district into capital city), today I know so "pirates" steal network from me, and these pirates are not some unknown people but my own neighbors, and they are many, and I am forced to deal with them alone. So... who knows what will happen tomorrow or even after an hour. It's very difficult to plan anything in this situation...

Detach Elements

This is my MaxScript that I post today and which helps me to quick detach all elements on multiple objects. Also a few options for better scene arrangement are available as including convert to mesh, group by source or link to source or point helper etc. About the Undo context (on/off option) I was add additional note inside the code, so just take a sec to read it. Well, I hope it is useful tool for you too.

The script is here.
