[Closed] CGTALK MAXSCRIPT CHALLENGE – Topics and Suggestions

Juan,

You use Bridge Edges of Orionflame to do that which works in max 5, 6 & 7.

I’ve already restarted Max 20 times.

I was trying to test it out to get the leads at Ensemble to buy it for everyone (40+ seats of Max). But I shouldn’t have tried it in the middle of crunch. I barely got to play with it before the demo was over.

here are just my suggestion or I should say, my wishlist:

1)climbling vine or blood vain:
Just like the blood vain in the movie “War of the Worlds”. Creat a climbling vain grow from ground and climb any object nearby. They are not just still model but also animatable.

2)Full body IK controller:
A script can turn a standard CS characeter into a fully body IK, just like Alias motionbuilder does.

3)Relax biped, natural form.
This can affect the CS biped pose and turn the pose to more relax form. For example, after create a CS biped by click and drag, you apply this script, then the script generate a more relax, natural form for the biped pose. Or you rigged your biped sitting, apply this scripte, your biped looks more relax and natural.

4)interactive birds, by click and drag.
Like the game “Deus Ex”. There one level have interactive pigeons in the park. A script that create a controller that controll a helper object so (a) the helper tend to stay longer time on a ground object then in the sky (b)when the helper stay ground, the helper move in x-y dimenstion. ©when the helper in the sky, swith their animation to flying (d) in the sky a group of birds may have a leader. (e) when any object walk toward the helper, the helper fly away.

Would this be possible?

On a poly model to insert a radius. Like in any graphic program including max you can select the “circle tool” click down were you want the circle and drag out to the desired radius and let go bam you have a circle. Why can’t you do that right on the poly model surface?

thanks

refresh auto grid for drawing splines.

if you try to draw a spline that would stick onto an objects surface (like a sphere) by using autogrid, max always takes the very first point for the autogrid – so the spline is always twodimensional instead of following the surface of the sphere.

Dunno if there already is a way to solve this or a script which could help.

another idea:

the modeling recorder:

-click record

-select one (or more) polygons and start modeling (shift-scaling, chamfering, extruding, beveling, insetting, connecting etc.)

-click stop recording

-select another poly

-click play

-> voila! he saves the steps and applies them to the newly selected surface

-> as a plus you can really record these steps and animate them… with this you can animate how you are modelling

-> you can also save your steps… after using it for a while you have a lot of variations and can turn any surface into various amounts of detailed interesting decorations

damn that’d be great… don’t know how hard it is since I have no clue about maxscript whatsoever! I’d kill for this script

Wishlist: UBER BATCH RENDER PROGRAM

A batch rendered which is atleast as powerful as the one in adobe photoshop.

Minimum Options

1. Select Script to Run
2. Choose Source Directory
   (Open / Import / Already Open in scene)
   [ul]
   [li]Checkboxes: Override Current Open? / Include Subfolders: / Ignore Errors, Quiet open / Reset Scene[/li]> [/ul]3. Choose Desination Directory
   (Same folders / New Folder /Save and Close / Render + dont save / Render + Save / Dont Save)
   [ul]
   [li] Checkboxes: Override Save Command / Render(has sub menu to it) [/li]> [/ul]
3. Output to naming convention (similar to photoshop)
   Document Name / serial numbers / type(max/blp/3ds/) ect. . .

Checkbox: Save name to log file

The more options the better.

The more modular the better. You should be able to insert scripts the same way you would use an action in photoshop.
Just a thought, I think the community as a whole could benefit greatly from this. I downloaded a base sort of program from scriptspot which is cool but nowhere near as extensive as the one currenrly in photoshop

very good place here,Jerry

a totally car ,can move and stop when its green light or red light . can turn automaticly when at a cross , and can change velocity randomly . not run out of the road .

shortly i want write a car and put it into scene , and it will show like a real car , many cars …

or maybe a totally monkey or any otherelse ? more difficult than a car .

What would be challenging is to create a script that allow you to do karaoke freely in 3dsmax

a script that import a file call SSA\ASS to 3dsmax and allow the user to perform effect on it.
Someone has done this for After Effect wonder if is possible to do it for 3dsmax?

i know this is the wrong pplace but where can i get specifications on hardwares for 3ds max.
i am having a problem on which one to buy, right here there is only a nvidia geforce here which is 256 but no nividia quadrofx

i need advice
