Hi,
I'm very new with maxscript,
and i need to deconcatenate (with split and slice?? like in js) some strings
and unfortunatly, i'don't have any idea how to do that:

--1 make a collection of all obj in the scene named "*_Master":

for h in $*_Master do print h.name

-- i obtain a list:
--"A135_gg_PersoName_Master"
--"B256a_AnimName_a_gg_Master"
--"B256a_AnimName_a_gg_Master"
--"B256a_AnimName_a_gg_Master"

-->2 i need to keep only the fisrt letter: "A" or "B" of each obj founded
-->3 make a condition: if it's A: split "_" to obtain: "PersoName"

New 3D model search engine

Submitted by Alex Birdman on Wed, 2015-11-11 18:49

Hi, everybody!

A month ago we've started 3d model search engine.
Its like a Google, but only for 3d models.
http://3dmdb.com/ - 3d model database.

Soon we'll add filters by price/format and search by pictures and by topology/profile/shape.

What else is necessary for your opinion? Would be great to get any feedback from you.
Thanks.

bitmap switcher

Submitted by ste on Thu, 2014-07-03 16:51

Another script...another newbie problem!

I'm trying to develop a script that let me change diffuse texture of a certain material.
I started studying Joe Gunn old script "face switcher": this script change material ID (but first we need to create a multiamterial with a lot of submaterials with different textures), while I think it's faster to have only one material and change its texture.
The script let you choose a directory to sort bitmap from, create thumbnails and...nothing.

But problem is that i have a rigged skeleton with animation and it has about 30+ bones and script can't work with more then 2 objects( 1 without anim and 2 with anim)
This is what i was able to do

		append sticks $

		for i = 1 to sticks.count do
 
		(global object1 = sticks[i]
