Remove QuadMenu items with the MaxScript

Submitted by harumscarum on Sun, 2024-02-04 02:57

There are two Corona items in the QuadMenu permanently - once removed it coming back on next 3ds Max start.

actionMan.executeAction 572340868 "7" -- Chaos Corona: Open Corona Converter
actionMan.executeAction 572340868 "6" -- Chaos Corona: Open Corona Proxy Exporter

Is there any way to have .ms in the scripts/statrup folder to remove both items from the QuadMenu on 3ds Max start?

Make unique object group from multiple Array

Submitted by draging on Tue, 2023-12-12 02:32

Hi All
How to create a unique group of objects from multiple arrays?
This is an example of a known array of layers

 layer1 = #("Sphere001","Sphere002","Sphere003")
 layer2 = #("Box001","Box002","Box003")
 layer3 = #("Tube001","Tube002","Tube003")

then I used the loop method like this with the results I wanted

ObjectGroup= #()
for i=1 to layer1.count do
(
	for x=1 to layer2.count do
	(
		for y=1 to layer3.count do
		(
			groups = #(layer1[i], layer2[x], layer3[y])
			ObjectGroup += #(groups)
		)
	)
)

character cycle foreward

Submitted by HamedAnimo on Mon, 2023-07-31 01:20

Hi. I am not scripter just writing some lines for easing walk and run cycles forward.

why to use: 3ds max save load animation sucks at load relative animation for linked object! how to use it: first run the script vcn4.ms from maxscript. then follow the following!:

Let's say you've done a cycle of walking or running. (not in place trademill style! moving forward)
in the script window you can see 6 steps
1- pick controls: pick corresponding controller => click button => click control

TV screen object

Submitted by locb on Mon, 2023-11-27 01:23

Hello.
I need a script that would create a new object, the screen based on the size of the diagonal and the thickness of the frame and depth of the object, the ratio of 16x9 or 16:10. or 4:3.
For example, I enter a diagonal of 55" and a frame of 1cm and a depth of 4cm.
And the script creates a rectangle 1218mm x 685mm, adds 1cm thickness to it and adds 4cm volume.
How can this be done?

Camera rename

Submitted by Any on Wed, 2023-11-22 04:53

Hi all.

I haven’t used Maxscript in my work for a long time, I forgot a lot...
There is a camera in the scene. It is known that the camera class is Freecamera. I want to rename it using a script.

But that doesn't happen

for v in geometry do (
if (classof v == Freecamera) then
(
select v
$.name = "Camera"
)
)
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
