Export Modifier Sets to new computer...

[dlparisi]

I'm migrating over to x64 and as a result have had to reinstall max. I've gotten most of my settings to transfer over but haven't found a way to transfer over the Modifier sets from the old install. Is this possible or do I just need to set them up again? I still have access to the old machine if necessary.

Modifier ?! What do you mean ?

I dont think you can save those off into some sort of file. I have mine so memorized that it only takes me maybe 30 secs to recreate them.

[dlparisi]

Yeah, they're not hard to recreate. Just thought I'd give a shout out to see if I was missing something like "export set"/"import set".

Paul: The modifier sets are the little buttons on the modify panel that give you quick access to frequently used modifiers so you don't need to access the drop down list.

[instinct]

They are stored in 3dsmax.ini. In order not to mess other things up you can copy/paste just that section (everything in the section [ModifierSets] )

Thanks thorsten, but as percy said, I just recreated them rather easily. Great for future knowledge though and it teaches me too look a little closer at the ini file.
