Creating a Custom Parametric Object with MAXScript

Submitted by Admin on Sun, 2010-06-06 22:38

Quoted from article:

"It’s one thing to create simple scripts with MAXScript to display a rollout and perform a few tasks. But if you find yourself creating the same type of object over and over again, you might want to take a crack at creating your own parametric object.

This script allows you to get all the properties names and classof from any selected object or from the current renderer

Double click on the prop name to set it in Window's clipboard.

When you select a prop name, it will show its class.

This tool manages for you all the boring stuff to achieve a flythrough animation with Max And Vray.
All changes are made in the engine to help you control and render each necessary step.

Finally it can also do all the process in one click !

incrementalSave

Submitted by Martin Breidt on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

This macroscript is a replacement for the save function. It saves incremental file versions while keeping the name of the latest - most-up-to-date version always the same as the original file. This is good for XRef'ing because the filename does not change. Just add it to your File menu and/or define Ctrl+S as shortcut.
New: Old file versions will now be saved to a subdirectory
v0.61 update: Bug fix to handle non-standard number prefixes; small improvements to the UI and error messages
