Hi,
So I need to ask the guys from IT to give me some admin controls over some directories to make my tools and pipeline working. Im still testing a lot so I need a full list of paths that are available to user to load at start.
So from what I remember there paths are essential:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2016\stdplugs\stdscripts
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2016\PlugIns
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2016 – 64bit\ENU\ and subdirs of this one
are there any other useful directories that I can use for my scripts?
It’s also good to have access to some of the ini files to customize certain things. These are mostly present in the ENU folder but having access to the local root folder is always a good thing.
maybe also:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2016\scripts
some Scripts go there as well
I don’t think you need access to most of that.
For plugins simply add a new entry to Plugin.UserSettings.ini.
Then install your scripts to $userStartupScripts, $userMacros, and $userScripts.
Since that’s all in the User folder you don’t need admin access.
