change multiple renderpasses quicker

A script for changing quick and easy Attributes of multiple Passes in 3delight.
Changing the Attrs for 3deligth could be a little bit slow, because of the Ui refresh for every attr change.

With the script is possible to change the Attrs for all selected Passes with only one Ui refresh.

Put both Script in your "C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\maya\version-x64 or -x86\scripts"
and start with typing "rf_m3dl_UI" in the commandLine .



The script is also nice to be proof that motionblur is on or that the animation Attr is on, before you render your scene.

Quality and MotionBlur Attrs could be change with a RMB click on the Attr Name.

export to tdl

A Javascript file to export 3delight Textures from Photoshop CS.
The original Script is from Fredrik Brännbacka, "Photoshop To Map 1.0.0 "

I just change the batch part, for 3delight.
Script one saveAsTdl.js keeps the gamma as it is.
Script two saveAsLinearTdl.js assumes a srgb gamma and save it with a linear gamma.
"note" even when you watch you linear tdl with i-display it looks right "not darker".
