Scripts
In order to demonstrate just how easy and powerful the script and macro support in Remo 3D is, we provide a number of free command-line scripts and macros below. Besides showing the advantages of the scripting support, these scripts and macros are definitely useful and will add value to Remo 3D by automating cumbersome and time-wasting manual operations. More scripts will certainly be added, some will be replaced and others will be removed, as the same functionality might be implemented natively in Remo 3D. See more information about scripts and macros in the Remo 3D user's guide.
The scripts and macros are available for free download in the tables below. You can download them one by one, or retrieve all of them in one package. It's however recommended to import only the macros you need for the moment, to avoid filling up the Macros menu in Remo 3D. The scripts and macros are documented both with comments in the scripts and in the tables below.
Note that these scripts and macros are provided as free software. No responsibility is assumed by Remograph for the use of these scripts or the corresponding macros.
Custom Scripts Service
Remograph is available for development of custom scripts and macros, a cost-effective way of letting professionals solve your time-consuming manual editing problems once and for all. Custom scripts and macros can of course be even more complicated and powerful than these examples.
Note that support plan customers are entitled to 20% off standard hourly rates for this service as described in the Support section. Just let us know what problems you need to be solved, or what work you need to be automated to save time and money. Send an inquiry to sales@remograph.com to receive a quote.
All-in-one Package
The file below contains all the scripts and macros. For documentation, see the script comments or the tables below.

Free Command-line Scripts
These scripts can be executed from the command line as arguments to Remo 3D and be part of other scripts or batch files. Here is an example of how to run one of the scripts:
"C:\Program Files\Remo3D\remo3d.exe" fltConvert.lua model.flt model_1570.flt 1570
See more information on how to operate command-line scripts in the Remo 3D user's guide.

| Script Name | Description | Files |
| convert.lua | Remo 3D command-line script for converting between all model file formats supported by Remo 3D. USAGE: convert.lua <input filename> <output filename> <input filename> is the source model, has to be OpenFlight or format supported for import in Remo 3D. <output filename> is the target model, has to be OpenFlight or format supported for import in Remo 3D. |
convert.lua |
| flt2txt.lua | Remo 3D command-line script for printing nodes as an indented scene graph in a new text file. USAGE: flt2txt.lua <model filename> <text filename> <model filename> is the input OpenFlight model file. <text filename> is the output text file. |
flt2txt.lua |
| fltConvert.lua | Remo 3D command-line script for converting between OpenFlight versions. USAGE: fltConvert.lua <input filename> <output filename> <version> <input filename>; is the source OpenFlight file. <output filename> is the target OpenFlight file. <version> is the new OpenFlight version as an integer, e.g. 1600 or 1570. |
fltConvert.lua |
| listExternals.lua | Remo 3D command-line script for printing the file names of all external references in a given model file. USAGE: listExternals.lua <model filename> <model filename> is the input OpenFlight model file. |
listExternals.lua |
| listTextures.lua | Remo 3D command-line script for printing the file names of all textures in a given model file. USAGE: listTextures.lua <model filename> <model filename> is the input OpenFlight model file. |
listTextures.lua |
| setTextureFilters.lua | Remo 3D command-line script for setting minification and magnification filters on a given texture image. USAGE: setTextureFilters.lua <texture filename> <minFilter> <magFilter> [magFilterAlpha] [magFilterColor] <texture filename> is the texture image file, has to be supported by Remo 3D. <minFilter> is the minification filter given as one of the strings in the corresponding Minfication Filter combo-box in the Texture Attributes dialog in Remo 3D, e.g. MIPMAP_TRILINEAR. <magFilter> is the magnification filter given as one of the strings in the corresponding Magnification Filter combo-box in the Texture Attributes dialog in Remo 3D, e.g. BILINEAR. [magFilterAlpha] and [magFilterColor] are optional, see above for instructions. Note that if magFilterColor is given, then magFilterAlpha must be given as well. |

Free Macros
In order to make a script more user-friendly and appear more or less as a regular Remo 3D tool, it can be wrapped in a macro. A macro will appear in the Macros sub-menu under the Script menu. If a macro takes parameters, they will appear in the tool area to the right together with an Execute button, like a regular tool. If no parameters are defined, the tool will be executed immediately.
A macro is imported into Remo 3D by choosing Script -> Macro Editor -> Import... and selecting the corresponding macro configuration .cfg file. The macro will then be available from the Script -> Macros menu. This is saved in your personal configuration, so it will still be there the next time you start Remo 3D.
See more information on how to import and operate macros in the Remo 3D user's guide.
