If you’re looking for an easy way to access and modify corners of the frustum – nope, there isn’t one. The closest thing you can do is add an FFD modi…

Yes, by COM I meant OLE automation. Not very reliable for transferring data between max instances. By clipboard I just meant the primitive means of s…

I doubt there is an easy way to access all the globals of one max instance from another max instance. That’s generally not how any software works. Th…
