Curious about literature, art, 3D, AI, creative tools & daily life.
Sharing what I make and learn, plus content in Chinese. Making new friends (Follow back 互关).
Hi, I’m Dimmens. I like turning questions into things I can test. This open-source 3D tool is one example.
I’ll share what I make, learn, and change my mind about—across creative tools, AI, culture, and everyday life. What are you curious about lately?
I’ve made FBXTo3dsMax free and open source.
I built it to bring FBX revisions back into an existing Autodesk 3ds Max scene. For matching topology, you decide which channels come back.
Here’s what it does:
• Matching topology: update the existing Max receiving node with only the channels you choose—shape, UV 1/2/3, materials and face IDs, RGB or independent vertex alpha.
• Shading: bring back smoothing groups and carefully edited custom corner normals together, with strict relationship checks and final-direction readback.
• Changed topology: Mode 2 uses the new FBX mesh and its weights with the existing Max Skin’s scene bones and supported binding data. Skin, bone and binding checks must pass; the old mesh is kept as a hidden backup by default.
This is readable Python and MAXScript under the MIT license, with Chinese and English UI and full guides. You can use it, study it, modify it and share it.
Tested in 3ds Max 2023.3.10. Please start with a copy of your scene, especially for complex rigs.
The GitHub demo is a historical v1.3.23 Mode 1 walkthrough; current source is v1.4.26.
I’d love to hear how it fits into your workflow. Tutorials, demo videos and source:

@HonestarsenalF Frank already debunked this with a pair of fake scissors. The girlfriend story isn't true, and he's still sticking to his five-win promise. United haven't earned that haircut yet.
@claudeai Fewer approval pop-ups sounds great. I’d still love an easy way to see which actions auto mode allowed or blocked afterward. That’s the part that would make me comfortable leaving it on.
@OpenAIDevs The GPT-Live integration is especially interesting. In a voice app, deciding whether to keep listening or take action can matter more than figuring out what to say next. Giving those decisions their own fast path makes a lot of sense.
@itxdan13 Ver Blumenau assim deve dar uma força enorme pra quem tantas vezes se sente sozinho politicamente. Resistência também é descobrir que tem mais gente ao seu lado do que parecia.
@emersin6 A caminhada já tinha força por si só. O problema de puxar uma deputada do PL pro meio é que a conversa acaba deixando de ser sobre a multidão e passando a ser sobre ela.
@vellascodavi Se a denúncia do filho se confirmar, não basta cobrar explicações da mãe. Também é preciso perguntar como esse depoimento foi verificado antes de entrar no vídeo. A fome é séria demais para virar instrumento político.
@C_3C_3 The injunction targets election-related DHS field operations in nine states involving people reasonably believed to be U.S. citizens—not all immigration enforcement. If the ruling is flawed, make the legal case. Guessing about her parents isn't one.
@souvenisr Entendo a revolta, principalmente quando a agenda de uma turnê pode afetar o voto de uma equipe inteira. Mas acho que o motivo importa, sim: não conseguir votar é diferente de ter condições de se planejar e simplesmente não priorizar isso.
