I’m trying to write a maxscript that will create a custom modifier. That modifier will point the normals of the applied object toward the center of a selected object. Here’s my code:

plugin modifier MyModifier
name:"My Modifier"
classID:#(0x12345678, 0x87654321)
 
(
    parameters main rollout:params
    (
        pickedObject type:#node ui:pickedObjectButton
    )
 
    rollout params "My Modifier Parameters"
    (
        button pickedObjectButton "Pick Object" width:100 align:#center
 
        on pickedObjectButton pressed do
        (

Hi everybody.There is a script: create materials in the Slate Materials Editor from the Temporary Materials Library:
local matlib = currentMaterialLibrary
for i = 1 to matlib.count do (SME.getView SME.activeView).createNode matlib[i] [(i - 1) * 50, (i - 1) * 50]

but he creates materials behind the scenes of an open SME viewport.
how to create materials where the view of an open SME is focused?

In After Effects, the camera layer has a .zoom attribute
Attribute Units: Pixels, Millimeters, Inches

app.project.item(1).layer("Camera 1").Zoom.value --> 1777,7778 Pixels

In 3DS MAX app, camera has .fov attribute
Attribute units: degree

$Camera001.fov --> 39.598 degree

If you dive deep into the theory about the conversion of these quantities, for a real camera, then there
you can drown...

Let's say that in the After Effects scene there is a camera that has the following parameters.

Hi everybody. Is there a way to Save only diffuse channel from an Exr sequence. The thing is, I rendered using vray with dnoiser channels and now the files are too heavy to store or easy compositing.Do I need to use videopost? Can anybody help to make a scirpt?

ps. using openbitmap() which works. But I realized I need the Z-depth channel too. This command seems not to load z-buffer channels.
