EReminder: the Guardian Angel for Your 3ds Max Projects
In the world of 3D design, there are two types of people: those who constantly save their work and those who cry when 3ds Max decides to take an unexpected break. For the latter (which is almost all of us) comes EReminder, a script that acts as a digital babysitter and reminds you when it's time to save your masterpiece. 💾 Because in digital art, as in life, it's better to prevent than to render.
EReminder is like that annoying friend who asks "did you save?", but in digital version and without wanting to fight.
A Reminder with a Brain
What makes this script special is not just that it reminds you, but how it does it:
- Detects when you've actually made changes (doesn't bother for nothing)
- Doesn't interrupt during renders (knows when to shut up)
- You can configure the reminder interval (from 5 to 55 minutes)
It's basically an early warning system against digital tragedies, like when you spend 3 hours modeling and... well, you know. 😅
Two Buttons to Rule Them All
When EReminder thinks you've tempted fate enough, it offers:
- Save and reset: For the cautious ones
- Postpone: For the rebels who live on the edge
No complicated messages or intrusive windows, just two clear options like water... or like a freshly saved model. 💡
Installation Easier Than a Default Cube
To start using this digital lifesaver you only need:
- Download the script (free, by the way)
- Drag it to your 3ds Max interface
- Configure your preferences (or leave the defaults)
It works from 3ds Max 2020 to 2026, proving that sometimes the best solutions are the simplest. Like that basic cube that ends up being the base of your most complex model.
So the next time you're immersed in your creative flow, remember: EReminder is there to make sure your art survives any crisis... even those you cause yourself by forgetting to save. 😉 Because in the 3D world, the real terror isn't lost polygons, but disabled autosave.
