Autoweight version 0.060 is available

Submitted by kogen on Tue, 2012-09-25 07:12

Hi guys and gals,

I would like to thank everybody who contributed with feedback and questions to the development of the new version of Autoweight.

The new version 0.060 comes with an installer so you don't need to hassle around with the mzp-stuff anymore. Just extract the zip, execute the setup and follow the instructions of the installer.
After starting 3DS Max you'll find "Kogen's Tools" -> "Autoweight" in your "Costumize user interface" category when everything went right.

Call for Python tutorials

Submitted by Admin on Wed, 2008-07-16 00:28

I've been seeing a lot of discussion about using Python with 3ds Max for quite a while now... I'd love to get some resources up describing Python - 3ds Max integration / workflow / processes. If you've got or would write a beginner tutorial or even an advanced tutorial, please share it with the community!

Some questions to get the ball rolling... What is Python? How does it compare to MAXScript? Why should someone use Python? Is Python best for end users or developers? How do you create a simple "hello world" Python script?
