Have you ever wanted to display the material and layer names of objects in the 3ds Max Scene Explorer like this?

This can be done with a relatively simple MAXScript that you must install  under the \Scripts\Startup directory of your 3ds Max installation.

By doing so, the script will execute each time 3ds Max is launched and will  instruct the Scene Explorer to fetch the Material and Layer names of your objects and create 2 new columns that you can drag and drop in place.
