Hi all,
I am trying to surround a car model with 3d text, i got some result by Particle Array but not so perfect i am sure that it should be fairly easy but i am unable to produce the perfect result yet.

what i want to do is that i have car model and i want it to be shown by Alphabets by hiding the original model i.e rough car shape with Alphabets, can anyone give some sugguestion about the best possible way in Max.

Thanks in advance.

Adnan.

3d world space coordinates to 2d viewport coordinates

Submitted by oxy on Wed, 2007-09-26 04:31

I want to do a function that converts a point3 3d space coordinate to a point2 2d viewport coordinate. The idea behind this function is to do a script than read a vertex coordinate and return true if that vertex is visible within the viewport area.

Any ideas ? thanks in advance.

3ds Max 2012 createFile error

Submitted by Marius Silaghi on Thu, 2011-04-14 09:20

If I create a maxscript file with maxscript like this

  • f = createFile "C:\a.ms"
  • close f

and if I drag and drop the file "a.ms" into max, max will crash.This doesn't happen in max 2011

Also I can't delete the file until I close max 2012 because it says that it is open in 3ds max.

can somebody explain why this is happening in 2012 and how to fix it

thanks.

3ds max and it's rotation problems.

Submitted by vfxworld on Tue, 2011-04-26 17:52

Hi.
I am working on a script to export animation data from a linked helper point to a .txt file to extract the animation in one point of an object.

Baking the animation for the helper point is not the problem.
The position and scale do not make any trouble.

But the rotation values are not good to be exported.
I want every rotation-axe to have it's isolated number.
It should be able to reach more than 360 degrees.

Now when I'm in coordsys View or Wolrd, 3ds Max tends to mix the rotation values. For example when I am typing into the transform Type-In:
X:0
Y:90
Z:90

3DS Max Biped to CAT

Submitted by TL4500 on Thu, 2013-11-07 02:42

Hi.

I am brand new to character animation in 3DS Max Design 2014. I have completed some of the Autodesk AREA Max CAT tutorials and am now looking to use CAT to animate a character in one of my scenes. I found a suitable character for my scene but he came with a Biped attached.

Does anyone know of a script for converting Biped to CAT?

Many thanks,

T

3ds Max crushes with this script

Submitted by IreMaster on Fri, 2016-11-04 11:19

Good day to all gurus here.
I have lots of experience with programming, but until recently I never needed Max, so I am new in Max scripting in particular. If this is too simple to work around - please excuse my incompetence, I am just trying out still.
Here is my problem: I want to import a series of altitudes from a file, that is formatted as coma delimited:

0.0,0.0,0.393701,1,0.0,0.278389,0.278389,1
0.19685,0.19685,0.278389,1,-0.278389,0.0,0.278389,2,-0.19685,-0.19685,0.278389,2
0.0,-0.278389,0.278389,2,0.19685,-0.19685,0.278389,2

3ds Max MAXScript Essentials_Second Edition cd files

Submitted by oliveremley on Sat, 2013-09-28 05:33

Hi All

I wonder if anyone can help me.

I have had a copy of 3ds Max MAXScript Essentials Second Edition in ebook format for my kindle for a while now and have been working through the chapters learning a lot.

The only problem is the Ebook does not come with the CD files that you would get with the printed version.

This means that some of the later chapters are hard to complete with out the files that come with the book.

I have written to the publishers and they are unable to help as the book is no longer in print.

"Hi, is there a way to export a CSV file in 3ds Max using a script? The CSV should have two columns: '3D Object Name' and 'Material Name', listing only the file names of the selected 3D objects along with their corresponding material names." Thank you in Advance
