Very tiny script

I was wondering how can we change the blur in all texture maps that have coords as well. For example tiles as they are other class - bricks not bitmaptexture. So we can go through all the classes one by one but is there a way of getting them together? I read somewhere something about GetClassInstances (superclass.classes) but I don't get it to work?

Well all texture maps have the superClass "textureMap", but you cant get it using "getClassInstances". Also, not every textureMap has a .coords or .blur parameter.

Mhm...maybe you can loop through objects in the scene that have a material, than get the maps of that material and check for .coords / .blur parameter. Just an idea, dont ahve much time right now to test^^

for o in objects where o.material != undefined do
	for m in o.material.maps where m != undefined do
			if hasProperty m.coords "blur" do
				m.coords.blur = 20.0

Thanks, it is kind of go round way but I think will do the work ;)

No problem. You can either copy/paste the following code into the MAXScript Listener window or your can download the attached maxscript file and in Max click MAXScript / Open Script and change the blur value to what you want then either click Tools / Evaluate All or just press Ctrl+E. Voila. All bitmaps in the scene will have their blur changed.

Note this doesn't work on a selection, it change every bitmap whether in a displace modifier, a spotlight, material, etc...

maps = getClassInstances bitmaptexture 

for m in maps do (
	m.coords.blur = 1.00 --set this value to whatever you want
)

Thanks ever so much Christopher!!!

As previously mentioned I know nothing of maxscript other than to record in Max listner window and reuse the code without modification.

I really appreciate your time to help me out and I would like to be able to offer you some help back [Maybe in the area of texture creation as this is my forte]
Please let me know if I can help you in any way.

Thanks again
