Maxscript 101 - Free Online Training

Submitted by Admin on Mon, 2011-02-14 09:49

 

The creator of Maxscript (John Wainwright) has made his previously commercial training DVD available for free on Vimeo! It's broken up into easy to watch chunks and even though it's a bit dated it remains one of the best introductions to MAXScript available.

A sincere thanks from the ScriptSpot community to John Wainwright for releasing his incredibly valuable training series for free and to our very own "Garp" for putting in the time to get the video split into sections & uploaded. Thanks!

Use vertex color as input to Bitmap controller

Submitted by ali torabi on Sun, 2012-10-21 23:54

In this tutorial I used a "Vertex Paint" modifier to paint on the surface and using the colors of the surface in a bitmap controller I modified a parameter of parametric array.
This approach works on 1D array while for 2D array you need to do some extra works to achieve the same effect.

En estos vídeos, aprenderás a crear un pluging de objeto en 3ds Max, usando la superclase SimpleObject.
Un plugin de objeto define una geometría basada en triángulos, cuya posición, número y orientación, forma un volumen en el espacio 3D. Estos objetos, pueden ser cajas, esferas, o cualquier cosa. En muchos sentidos es similar a las primitivas estándar de 3ds Max, pues el objeto puede variar de tamaño y de número de segmentos.
Estos videos, son parte de las materias de scripting de la Ingeniería en Animación Digital en la Universidad Panamericana en Guadalajara, México.
