Hello everybody,
I have a question concerning maxscript.
In the past we used a map called “f-Edge” in the bump slot for creating the effect of rounded edges.
Nowadays we prefer using VRayEdgesTex because f-Edge is not working properly anymore. It causes too much errors during rendering.
Because of the huge amount of f-Edge scenes I try to replace all f-Edge maps by VRayEdgesTex maps by script. I use the following line for that:
for c in (getclassinstances f_Edge) do replaceinstances c (VRayEdgesTex name:c.name)
It works just perfect for me. The only problem is that it creates VRayEdgesTex maps with its default properties. But I need to change two values in order to look good.
The listener gives me the following output for the necessary changes:
rootScene[#SME][#VRayMtlView][#Map__25____VRayEdgesTex].Properties.reference.widthType = 0
rootScene[#SME][#VRayMtlView][#Map__25____VRayEdgesTex].Properties.reference.thickness = 0.12
Unfortunately I am a real noobie when it comes to scripting.
Can you please give me a hint how to combine these two scripts?
So in a nutshell:
replace f_Edge by VRayEdgesTex with widthType = 0 and thickness = 0.12
Thank you in advance!
Joe
f_edges_array = getClassInstances f_edge
for f_edge_tex in f_edges_array do
(
v_edge_tex = VRayEdgesTex name:f_edge_tex.name
v_edge_tex.widthType = 0
v_edge_tex.thickness = 0.12
replaceInstaces f_edge_tex v_edge_tex
)
Thanks a lot!
I will give it a try tomorrow
