[Closed] .max file thumbnail image in MXS – How?

Aug 25, 2008 4:09 pm

Hi,
I would like to mimic the getOpenFileName MXS function, but with the oportunity to select more than one file (pressing CTRL or SHIFT key).

Are there any way to get the thumbnail imagen included in any .max file?
This would prevent me from having to render the images before.

Thanks

You’ll need some dotnet but it can be done! Look at this http://www.scriptspot.com/bobo/mxs9/dotNet/OpenFileDialog.html

Goodluck!

regarding the file thumbnail, I will be releasing a dotnet class library that can retrieve this very soon. It can also do a rather crude rescale and overlays the file information using GDI+
