Floor Generator

A very useful plugin from which I myself used countless times. Thanks to it, in a very easy way you will be able to create wonderfully looking floor panels. A very useful tool, especially when working with interior visualizations. At https://www.cg-source.com/floorgenerator.php, there are two versions of this script: free and paid. The paid version includes more than one floor pattern, but the free one is also very useful.

Third of the free 3ds max scrips also comes from the CG-Source. It also works with two previous plugins.
