Clear out the dead wood from the layer manager

Occasionally, you end up with a load of layers in your scene that are no use to anybody, serve no function to society, and end up taking valuable space like an unwanted uncle at a wedding.

Hi

I've recently created 3 scripts that create (almost) the same scene in 3 different applications (Maya, Max and Blender). They are intended to serve as a source of code snippets for future projects and examples of how to do stuff in those applications - something like Blender's cookbook.

Just illustration of an example approach which can be done and without writing code but there also a few points where using MAXScript can save alot of time.

A = Angle Of Rotation
B = Rod Size
R = Crank Radius

CHANGE THE VALUES BETWEEN "..."

A = "X"_Rotation*180/pi
B = "30"
R = "10"
(B+R)-sqrt(B*B-R*R*sin(A)*sin(A))-R*cos(A)

Maxscript deadline submit script tutorial

Submitting jobs to deadline is not very difficult, but it can be automated with maxscript. It’s always a good thing to automate when you can. And it’s a good thing to submit stuff to a render-queue to free your own computer from the workload. So why not submit automated maxscript-jobs to deadline instead of renderjobs? Well, you can do that relatively easily with deadline. Consider this if you need to process a large amount of meshes with maxscript, or do some kind of image-manipulation with maxscript. Or do this when you have some kind of scripted renderpipeline.

too. The main one to note is -
