Incredible Technologies - Find Duplicate Object Names

Many scenes had objects with similar names like "reel_00" or "reel_01", which meant it was easy to accidentally rename an object to a name that had already existed, which caused our build process to fail. "Edit Duplicate Object Names" was a tool written in MAXScript that got rid of object name duplication.

I made use of the Levenshtein Distance (LD) Algorithm, which measures the similarity between two strings, to display a list of similar names in use so that the user knows not to choose those names to rename the duplicate name with.
Example of documentation.
