🔨 TOOLS
Seamless Textures
Architextures is a procedural texture generator that allows you to create and edit seamless textures, bump maps and CAD hatches.
Lazy Manager
Lazy Manager allows users to copy and paste objects, materials, and modifiers across multiple instances of 3ds Max and includes support for sharing these assets across an entire studio of artists using a shared network location.

Image Texture Resizing
Another tool from Joker Martini worth checking out is Image Texture Resizing. With a one-click solution artists can resize images using a non-destructive method. Always leaving the original file untouched and unaltered. At any point in time users can choose to restore their textures to the full resolution if they wish. Anytime a new lower resolution is generated, it uses the original image to generate it.
