[Closed] can i replace a viewport with a bitmap?

That’s the question, not a picture, i mean a bitmap created with maxscript, like activeshade does with it’s viewport option.

Can i??

Cheers.

You could register a dialog as a viewport dialog… then just stick a bit bitmap control in that dialog.

Is that more-or-less the sort of thing you’d be looking for?

( you could also draw pixels onto the viewport canvas itself, and draw a bitmap to it that way… that oughtta be right slow, though )

Thanks ZeBoxx it workied great, now there is a lot of work to check the viewport resolution, then fit in my script, then put the dialog in the viewport hehe, but despite the bunch of work, now i know how to do it.

Cheers!

should be fairly simple – sounds like you want to figure it out yourself, so I won’t toss up code in here… but if you get stuck, just drop a reply and you’re bound to get assistance

Yes i know how, only telling that i need to write a lot in the script hehe, but the great thing is that now i know how to do that now

I’m learning a lot with your help.
