2013 version?

Possible to get a USB version?

My university network locks down all modifications to existing programs, or basically I can't install to the folder 3DSMax is located in. A version that can be run from a user directory would be nice.

Cheers

Splash screen function removed

satheesh · 2011-07-04

I've uploaded a new setup that removes Splash screen changing function. Download it from Swift-Switch website. I sincerely apologize for modifying splash screen.

W DIGITAL · 2011-10-05

i installed it

and i look for swiftswitch under customize toolbar swiftswitch

but only a bunch of advertising and like me on facebook and all kindsa stuff

comeon man :)

where is button to swift switch? or instructions?

sorry if im missing something

jinj · 2011-07-03

you could add... a step to change the splash also with a personal image.
as custom installation.
normal installation leave the splash as it is.

satheesh · 2011-07-03

Anyway i'll remove the splash screen thing :)

Very nice Ocean material, and great script.
But like lucpet59 I don't like my standart start up splash screen disaperd, and this without my permission.(maybe a check box during the installation will be less instrusive)

Sorry for the splash screen

satheesh · 2011-07-03

@Yann and @lucpet59....

Sorry for the splash screen changing thing. I'll remove it soon

Thanks

lucpet59 · 2011-07-03

It's not that I didn't like it. It's just my version was (better)funnier and I didn't keep a copy of it. Luckily I just used an original bmp from an install file.
Just leave us the original so we can change it back. Rename it to something like splash.bmp.old

;)

It renames

satheesh · 2011-07-03

When you install Swift-Switch, it renames your original splash screen to "splash_swiftswitchbackup.bmp". :)

lucpet59 · 2011-07-02

I didn't like the fact that it writes over the start up splash screen without saving the old one.

Apart from that great

fajar · 2011-07-02

Thanks you very much sathesh....its great script that help me very much.

Thanks :)

satheesh · 2011-07-03

Thanks Fajar :)

jinj · 2011-04-05

no trojan in it....
great work mate....
take up with the tool development ;)

Big thanks

igamaximus · 2011-06-18

for your effort Satheesh and looking forward to your finalRender achievment!! There is a script here called Multiconvertor from Vladislav Gavrilov. I've created fR database for it and now it converts Vray and Mray materials (and not just materials but lights too, but it needs minimal manual work) to finalRender so probably you can use it in your work with that amazing renderer. If you need any backup regarding fR please contact me here or on animavision@gmail.com. All the best and stay focused! ;)

Thanks igamaximus :)

satheesh · 2011-07-02

Thanks for the kind words Igamaximus :)

I dont complain, its just that the first thing that comes to my mind is "trojan fake file". And for a simple script I dont see any reason to use an .exe installer. Thanks for sharing anyway!

fajar · 2011-04-05

it depend on writter....dont complaint it...just use it.

br0t · 2011-04-04

why an .exe installer?
