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

select v
$.name = "Camera"

Need help to simplify script for area cropping

Submitted by harumscarum on Sat, 2023-09-02 05:03

This script do perfect job to crop all mesh object in the scene to the rectangle area
Since last versions of 3dsMax allows to Slice Along both X and Y would it be possible to use only two Slice Modifiers which will be located at top-left and bottom-right of the rectangle shape and be applied to all mesh objects in the scene rather then one-by-one?

(

fn shapeFilt o = (superClassOf o == Shape)
rectObj = pickObject prompt:"Pick Rectangle" filter:shapeFilt

if rectObj != undefined then

"Array of common values of the non-empty arrays"-question

Submitted by Ralf on Wed, 2023-08-23 12:28

Hello. I have a question:

I have 4 ui-spinners (which are blank Indeterminate: true) and 4 empty Arrays.
changing a spinner fills up an Array.

for example 3 spinner have a value:

	Marr = #(1,2,3,4,5)
	Rarr = #(3,4,5,6,7,8)  /*just changed */
	Larr = #()
	Tarr = #(4,5,6)

I want to create a 5th Array which contains all the common values of the non-empty arrays

    ComArr = #(4,5)

with 2 Array i can do:

	ComArr = #()
	If Marr.count >= 1 do (
		Locarr = #()
		for j=1 to Marr.count do (
			N = findItem Rarr Marr[j]

I need a really easy custom 3DS Max script written for me, can anyone help?

Submitted by JezUK on Wed, 2023-09-06 06:35

I need a script written and I'm looking for some help from you experts out there (I'm sure it'll take you guys literally seconds to write this one :) ).

Here's the design;

a) I have around 100 folders, and in each folder there a varying number of splines between 2 and 10 I'd say in each one.

b) I have a Master_Spline that's to be used as the master path for sweeping each those splines that are in each of those 100 Folders.

Here's what I want the script to do.

Hi Guys, It's been a long time since i needed your help, but i'm stuck with a scope issue for my license script.
