[Closed] maxscript and vray toon

Yes it is possible to add a VRayToon with maxscript. It is an atmospheric effect so you would use addAtmospheric as you would with any other effect:

(
	vt = VrayToon()
	addAtmospheric vt
)

It’s properties are:

 .color : RGB color
  .normalThreshold : float
  .linePixels : float
  .lineWorld : float
  .overlapThreshold : float
  .doSecondaryRays : boolean
  .traceBias : float
  .widthType : integer
  .opacity : float
  .excludeList : node array
  .excludeType : integer
  .hideInnerEdges (hide_inner_edges) : boolean
  .texmap_color : texturemap
  .texmap_color_on : boolean
  .texmap_color_multiplier : float
  .texmap_width : texturemap
  .texmap_width_on : boolean
  .texmap_width_multiplier : float
  .texmap_distortion : texturemap
  .texmap_distortion_on : boolean
  .texmap_distortion_multiplier : float
  .texmap_opacity : texturemap
  .texmap_opacity_on : boolean
  .texmap_opacity_multiplier : float
  .compensateCameraExposure (compensate_camera_exposure) : boolean

And yes you can set any of the VRay global switches using maxscript. Use:

show renderers.current

to see all VRay properties. Look for the ones starting with options.

Thanks Raytracer. Very helpful. May you suggest a source where I can find more informations about vray and maxscript? Cheers

I’m not aware of any apart from some general info on spot3d.com.

You can find a lot of information yourself using standard maxscript tools. As I said above, typing into the listener:

show renderers.current

returns all the properties of the renderer itself.

Typing:

showclass "VRay*"

returns all the VRay classes ie. lights, materials, render elements etc.

Then, for example:

show (v=VRaySimbiontMtl())

returns all the properties of the VRaySimbiontMtl.

Other than that ask on here or on the VRay forum. Hope some of that helps.

Thanks again. Very useful tips.
