Hi, I’m a newbie with max script. I’m getting closer out of necessity, and here I report my first script.
is very simple and the goal is to convert a selection of object in body_object.
The problem is that it works with only one selected object, wrong … where?
SCRIPT:
select geometry
for i = 1 to selection.count do
macros.run “Body Objects” “Body_Object”
to answer your question people has to know what “Body_Object” macros is.
Body object is a native geometry of 3ds max:
create panel > geometry > body objects > body object
I can’t find that obj, maybe you are using some extra plugins, because there is no body object under the geometry category.
can you give us more information?
Now i’m working with 3ds max design 2011 and 2012…no external plugin…
this is a screencapture…
ok. i found it. it’s in 2012.
so the macros starts Body_Object creation. How do you want to use it with multiple selection?
Ok!
I’ve many geometries and i’d like to convert these to body object for control all parameters of visualisation in viewport and rendering in the same time.
But with the standard command on 3ds max I manage an object at a time, and if i’ve hundreds of objects…
So I’m searching to create a script with a loop!
Now it start, but only with one object selected.
Maybe… (‘hit-in-the-dark’)
(
nodes = geometry as array
max select none
for n in nodes do
(
select n
if okToCreate Body_Object do
StartObjectCreation Body_Object
)
max modify mode
)
Note: Body_Object class is new in Max 2011,
I’m no max 2009 so can’t test this,
but lets hope its closer (:
Thank’s!
I’ve try your solution…but thisi is the result…
– Error occurred in anonymous codeblock; filename: ; position: 176; line: 11
– Syntax error: at ), expected <factor>
– In line: )
Great! Panayot… it’s exactly as mine but quicker done!
(
objs = for obj in (selection as array) where iskindof obj GeometryClass collect
(
select obj
if not (okToCreate Body_Object) then dontcollect
else
(
StartObjectCreation Body_Object
obj
)
)
clearselection()
select objs
)
both work!!!
Thank’s very much!!!
Now I’ll use your solution, and study.
