Hi!
I have a question about the macrorecorder in 3ds max. I am a bit confused as to what it prints out. I have gotten it to print checkbox changes / material assignments and such. But all of the sudden it does not.
An exampel. I have got it to print out when I drag n dropped a material into the override material slot in the Vray renderer. But testing it at a later stage it does not. How do I get it to print out more commands?
It sounds like you have turned the MacroRecorder off by mistake.
To turn the it back on first open the MAXscript listener. Then from the the MacroRecorder menu, select ‘enable’ at the top of the menu.
You should start to see the maxscript expressions in the listener again.
Some things sadly don’t get picked up by the macro recorder… and sometimes it just stops working for me for no reason whatsoever…
If you want to know properties of things the best thing to do is use the showproperties function.
Showproperties $
Showproperties $.modifier[1]
Showproperties meditmaterials[1]
Showproperties (VrayMtl())
Showproperties Renderers.current
etc
That should help you find some properties.
