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

"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]

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
