Free 3Ds Max script - Vertex Cleaner

A very old script, but it still seems useful for some people around the world.
I’m uploading it here because my website is no longer available.
Feel free to use it, or you can support me with a donation.


This script helps you clean polygonal meshes by removing unnecessary vertices, for example, after Boolean operations.

The script finds vertices with only 2 edges and, depending on the angle between the edges (which you can control with a threshold), removes them. This way, you can keep corner vertices and only remove vertices on straight lines.

P.S. It's funny, but apparently, this piece of code, written more than 20 years ago, is the most useful thing I've ever done! :) Maybe it's worth improving it somehow? Perhaps making a version without a UI to assign it to a hotkey? I've never needed to change the threshold, even though I selected the default value by eye. :)
