Without executing the code, from top of my head Max 9 will returns #(9000,…) and Max 2008 will return #(10000,…) where the second and third elements of the array could be ignored. In general, you can grab (maxVersion())[1]/1000 and use something like

theVersionName = case ((maxVersion())[1]/1000) of
(
2: #max2
3: #max3
4: #max4
5: #max5
6: #max6
7: #max7
8: #max8
9: #max9
10: #max2008
11: #max2009
12: #max2010
)

Thanks Bobo,

figured as much but needed to check.

hey actually Bobo,

You’re just the guy I need to ask, when were scene explorers added to max, what version? Also, when they were introduced could you use the scenemanager interface to add properties like in max2009?

3ds Max 9 with Extension 1 Productivity Booster installed has version number 9500.

9500/1000
–>9

Due to Integer division, it still returns 9.

I’m sorry you got it that way, like trying to mark your post, or acting cool. I was just adding a little bit of information.

SceneExplorerManager Interface and Scene Explorers were added in 3ds Max 2008.
