Custom Attributes node referencing

Submitted by SugaR on Thu, 2016-07-21 03:37

Hello

I've encounter an issue with node referencing within custom attribute, when merging a scene in another one.

From the files I've attached (max 2016), the two scene are identical except that on sceneCA.max, sphere001 has an CA that reference sphere002.

Now when I'm merging sphere001 from sceneCA.max into scene.max and replacing the original sphere001 (without merging sphere002), the referencing on the CA doesn't work anymore.

Does anyone would have any idea to avoid the reference breaking in this situation ?
Thanks

Hi Guys,

I have a selection of camera's in my scene. Some start with "cam_" other don't. I want to use matchpattern to select the camera's that do start with this prefix. Below is what I have been trying to use. Please could someone tell me where i'm going wrong, don't think i'm too far off, i just cant find the right syntax. Also it would be great to know how to search two matchpaterns in the same for loop if possible.

for i in cameras where matchpattern i.name pattern:"cam_*" collect i

Any help would be much appreciated!

Bake LightingMap for mutliple objects at different resolution with one render call

Submitted by ileben on Thu, 2016-07-14 18:22

I'm having a problem where textures come out stretched/shrunk vertically, when I try to bake LightingMap for multiple objects at once, when the output size is set differently on each object. I do this by selecting all the object and calling:

render rendertype:#bakeSelected

I set the output size by doing this:

map = LightingMap()
map.outputSzX = size
map.outputSzY = size

obj.INodeBakeProperties.addBakeElement map
obj.INodeBakeProperties.activeWidth = size
obj.INodeBakeProperties.activeHeight = size

where [size] changes from one object to another.

Check or Uncheck - Save Render Mesh - Body Objects

Submitted by tomastnt on Mon, 2016-08-08 06:29

Hallo,
I am lookig for a script that knows to turn off/on the perameter SAVE RENDER MESH in RENDER APPROXIMATION dialog of Body object for multiple objects. (nurbs importet objects)

A time ago I have modified this scipt:
http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/bodyobject-render-quality

and now as another person who commented this script looking to this feature. I would like to keep all other settings in render approximation dialog, just only control to save or not save the mesh.

Thank you.
