Sounds like a system object to me. That’s an object controls the creation and instancing of other types of objects. The “Sun” system in Max is such a…
No I don’t think so. That sounds good. The question is work flow, how many clicks of the mouse it takes to change things around, replace materials, or…
Both. Jon-Huhn: Personally, I’d rather have a tool that simply re-assigns the materials and properties everytime you switch a layer That is…
You should look at how RPManager handles this problem. It has a custom material that stores all the materials for all layers on the object, and then w…
orig = 196 d =(distance ankle fino) xPos = 0 if d > orig then xPos = 0 + (d-orig) * stretch if d < 155 then xPos = 0 – (155-d) * squash

You might be able to do a simple statical calculation based upon a history of renderings. Capture the render time, face count, render settings, etc… …
oh, you can use the same methods as the “expression controller”. y = x.getValue “Y Position” EDIT: Sorry, misread your post. I don’t think you can g…
You can add node’s as varaible references. Create a varaible called TEA, click “node” and assign it to $Teapot01. Now you can use TEA in your script…
You can create a custom attribute parameter block. Assign it to the global parameters section, and then add your objects as hidden parameters. As lon…
You need to make sure the modifier panel is open. I think if it’s not open Max throws an exception. Add this to the start of your pressed event. max…
You need zero scripting knowledge to use PEN’s attribute holder or the empty one that comes with Max. You assign custom attributes using the custom a…
Try forward slashs. “/” and you won’t have to repeat them. example: //machine/folder/folder/folder/file.txt
