It sounds like the opposite of what I wanted, but I’ll do anything to make it work, because I’m really tired of dealing with that now (spent a lot of …

Could this be related?: [left] Changing the render scene dialog settings via MAXScript should be done with the actual render scene dialog in a clos…

I agree with all of this. One thing I really miss is the ability to work on multiple scripts at the same time, split view.

If you are going to use c++ functions from maxscript then your best bet is to use the 3dsmax SDK and ‘Function publishing’. You then make a plugin…

I was in the same boat as you some years ago, and today I code c++ plugins each day both at work and at home. It’s not easy to get into, and as you s…

The unicode stuff is mostly relevant when dealing with strings and such. you can fix that by using some defines, for example this function, that let’s…

Another thing I want to suggest you could do, is to put your code on for example github, then start a thread here, then start working on it and ask ab…
