# 3D Studio Max Shapeways calculator by Virtox

March 11, 2009

Shapeways community member [Virtox](/content/hisdesign?user_id=4834&list_page%5Bmydesign%5D=2&list_page%5Bmydesign%5D=1/index.html) made something completely truly awesome for 3D Studio Max(3DS Max, is how they want us to call it) users the other day. He made a script that calculates the volume and price of your model including or excluding VAT. The script also allows gives you a warning if you go over the maximum polycount and helps you see what scale you can use to price your object as you would want to have it. This is a Studio Max script so you can check all of these things from within the application!! I think that this is a wonderful thing and hope that all the 3D Max users on Shapeways help Virtox by testing his script and giving him feedback.
