I hope to post more snippets in future..

The shader uses 2 gradient maps for Thermal Vision and Night Vision. I have added control for Black level adjustment, which controls the blackness in the scene(as shown in the video).

Currently working on Detail Normal Shader for 3ds max, will post it soon.

Read it here – http://wiki.polycount.net/Normal_Map

Installation Instructions for Select Non-Planar Faces
-------------------------
* Drag and Drop Select_NPR.mzp in to 3dsMax viewport.
* From the Customize User Interface menu option you can now assign Select_NPR to a Toolbar. The command is located in the "Akira Scripts" Category.

Steps for usage:
1. Run the Script . Find it in Customize User Interface->Toolsbar->Catogery->Akira's Scripts-> NormalWidget

2. Select the Highpoly and hit setup.

3. Scale the highpoly to fit the template plane.

4. Hit render and save the image.

5. Use it to add details in the base map. Idle to create a library of normal maps for using across objects like nuts,bolts,cracks,etc.

6.Enjoy.

Hopefully will include render size options in the next update. Suggestion are welcome.
