Wall Worm Model Tools

The Wall Worm Model Tools is a (free) MAXScript utility for 3ds Max that allows you to compile models and textures straight from 3ds Max. This tool is only available for 3ds Max users and includes SMD and VTA exporters. The tool gives you a graphical interface for setting various model properties such as $surfaceprop, $scale, $mass, etc.

Wall Worm works with the latest versions of 3ds Max, including 3ds Max 2014.
