Hi,
Thank to this link: http://www.scriptspot.com/forums/3ds-max/general-scripting/sublime-text-editor-mxs-support
I was able to install sublime and execute maxscript and python from it directly into max.
I downloaded this mascript folder: http://folk.ntnu.no/havardsc/scripts/SublimeMaxScript.rar
That i put in
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages
I also copied those 2 files from max root to this maxscript folder: Autodesk.Max.dll and
Autodesk.Max.Remoting.dll
And I edited this
\Users\username\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2014 – 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg\MaxDotNet.config
file and set AllowRemoting to true.
But I sometimes get an error on max startup that is even sometimes blocking network render. It seems to be related to the fact that I am openinng 2 3dsmax instances (one for working an another one from a deadline slave doing network rendering. If you have any idea what’s going on would be very appreciated to share it.
her is the error I get:
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoBind(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress)

at System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp.TcpChannel…ctor(IDictionary properties, IClientChannelSinkProvider clientSinkProvider, IServerChannelSinkProvider serverSinkProvider)
at Autodesk.Max.Manager.SetRemoting(Boolean on)
If I remember correctly, in MaxDotNet.config there is a property that sets the remoting port. The error is thrown when you try to use remoting on multiple instances of max on the same port, i.e. it has to know which instance to send the commands to. I think it can be fixed by assigning a new port in the config file each time you start a new instance of max, but then again that python plugin have to know the new port as well.
thank haavard,
I just realized there was another method . I tried it and it does not require editing maxdotnet and it is faster to execute the script in max.
I downloaded this: https://bitbucket.org/cb109/sublime3dsmax/get/master.zip
If you don’t have Package Control installed, get it here .
And followed the readme file:
- Download master.zip
- Create a folder named Send to 3ds Max in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages
- Extract the contents to the folder
- Restart Sublime
- copy the file “Default (Windows).sublime-keymap” to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\User
The AttachThreadInput from that source was a cool way of doing it. I wonder if it cleans up well after quitting/restarting the sublime script.
