Hi all,
is it possible to write an assembly that allows Max to expose itself to external programs (like a COM bridge)?
The plan is for some kind of Web2.0 frontend to tell Max what it should do (within very strict limits) and when Max is finished, it should report back to the frontend so that the files it’s produced can be passed onto a different program.
If it’s possible, this will be the first time I’ve ventured into the DotNet world. At the moment I really just need to tell the client if it’s possible or not.
Thanks,
Dave
Nope, that doesn’t really do it. It’s one of the first places I checked :o)
I suppose what I really want to know is if a DotNet assembly can do communication in both directions:
Frontend -> Max – “Open this file, merge this object into it, render it at 1024×768”
Max -> Frontend – “OK, done that, the rendered files are in this folder”

I think I’ve seen something like that posted here on Maxscript section.
Thanks Artur, that covers the Max->Frontend direction.
But what about the other direction? Or can that also be done in the same way?
I spent ages looking at Pete’s site this afternoon, and somehow completely missed that post!
Thanks,
Dave
It’s in the top right corner
PhotoShop Interop!?.. hmm…
Did you work with Windows PowerShell?
have someone found a decent solution for this kind of scenarios ?
