Has anyone successfully used XML-RPC to send/receive data to a remote XML-RPC server with 3ds Max? I’m open to dot Net or Python based solutions though I’d really like to avoid 3rd party libraries if at all possible.
I’ve tried to google it but only found www.xml-rpc.net which is a 3rd party library.
I’ve never needed to do this in the past so if you have any elementary links they’d be appreciated.
I’ve done it only once through Python to connect to a wordpress blog. It was really easy to do but seemed limited. If you want more info on what I did I can post the code here.
I haven’t done anything with Python / Max yet so I was hoping to not dive into that too… However – examples are always useful. If it’s not too much trouble I’d definitely be interested in seeing how something similar can be done with Python.
Quote from http://www.beansoftware.com/Windows-Forms-Tutorials/Using-XML-RPC-With-VB.NET.aspx :
Although widely used, there is no native support for XML RPC in Microsoft .NET.
So I’m guessing that you wont have any luck with .Net at least… Python is not my thing
Ahh… That explains why I wasn’t finding much with google… I might look further into the xml-rpc library then – it’s open source so maybe I can make it work for my needs.
Thanks,
Here is the sample code I started from:

Mine has also a loop to pull the data from a .csv file.
