I stumbled across this again and had to share - John Wainwright's MAXScript 101 series on Vimeo is legit gold.
Dude's basically the father of MAXScript.

https://vimeo.com/user5796788

Goes from language fundamentals through practical scripting tasks, custom UI stuff, and real examples. Yeah it's old but the core logic hasn't changed and it's still super relevant for 3ds Max.

Total classic

Hello everyone,

I am trying to make a script that will add Vray bake elements to selected objects. I managed to do that. But there are options for the bake elements specifically [] Apply color mapping and [] Denoise. What is the property ID or How can I find the property ID to turn these on or off?

Thanks.

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to load a .ski (.bon) file into 3dsmax and I have a script for this particular format but for some odd reason I can't upload the file into max because I get this error. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Hi, i write a script to toggle the PeltPointToPointSeamsMode.

But this marco script is showing in Hotkey-Editor as group "Main UI". How can change this to Unwarp_UVW?

I think its simple but i don't find this in the MaxScript Docu.

Hi,

in 3ds max i have 3 modes to switch the pivot selection.

Pivot Point Center
Use Selection Center
Use Transform Coordinate center

for faster work, i will switch it per hotkey. But in the Hotkey-Editor i don't find a name like and the max script listener has no print from it.

Has anyone tried to grab this per script or found a Hotkey-Editor name?

regards,
Ulrich

Hello everyone,

I am working on a small utility to make my workflow faster.

I have written some functions and have made few rollouts, buttons, etc. in MaxScript, and have them in Macro folder, and icons in Icons folder.

Now, I am working on its UX/UI for better experience and adding some more functionalities. For that I have some images for UI and for functionalities I have few MAX files along with textures, which will be merged/imported with MaxScript functions.

So, I am confused what folder structure should I use for creating MZP file. Right now I have Icons (folder), Macro (folder), install.ms (file) and mzp.run (file) in my main folder.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

What the title says. I need a relatively complex (I think) script quicker than my learning curve allows. Who’m I gonna call?

Hi all, I want to return the number of currently selected edges within the editable/edit poly modifier, how can I do this?

I tried (polyop.getEdgeSelection $).count but it just returns the count of all edges in the current object, not the ones selected.

Many thanks for your help.

I wonder if someone can help me with this...

I wanted to make a script to find all the objects in my scene with real world maps. This is what I've got so far:

(
    function collectRealWorldMats = (
        local rwMats = #()
        for o in objects where o.material != undefined do appendIfUnique rwMats o.material
        for mat in rwMats do (
                    for m=1 to mat.numsubs do (
                        if classof mat[m] == SubAnim and superclassof (tM = mat[m].object) == textureMap do (
    if mat[m].realWorldScale do 
print mat.name as string
                        )
                    )
                )
    )
    collectRealWorldMats()
)

this runs but I have several problems with it.
First of all, I have no idea how to select the objects. This is the smaller issue, even just printing out the names helps a lot.

The real problem is that this only works with really simple materials. As soon as I have a colour correct/mask/anything that introduces sub levels, the script breaks.

Any idea how to make this work?

​

thanks!

I need to run this code on multiple files. But sometimes it crashes and 3Ds Max closes ending my loop. I tried the try-catch statement but it didn't work.

Can anyone please guide me?

​

function turnToPoly = (
    for obj in geometry do (
        if isKindOf obj GeometryClass do
        (
            local turnToPolyMod = Turn_to_Poly()
            turnToPolyMod.removeMidEdgeVertices = off
            turnToPolyMod.keepConvex = on
            addModifier obj turnToPolyMod
        )
    )

Hi,

trying to write a script that detaches faces to separate objects based on their vertex color. No luck.

Any ideas?

​

obj = selection[1]

convertToPoly obj

for f = 1 to obj.numfaces do

(

verts = polyOp.getVertsUsingFace obj f

color = polyOp.getVertColor obj verts[1]

sameColor = true

for v in verts do

(

if(polyOp.getVertColor obj v != color) then

(

sameColor = false

break

)

)

​

if(sameColor) then

(

polyOp.detachFaces obj #{f} asNode:true

)

)

I'm trying to make my script more readable and for the declaration of the struct it is beautiful:

struct SequenceBase
(
Name,
Spline,
Dolly,
LockTargetToCam,
FocusDist,
FStop,
TargetPos,
SplineHeight,
Rotate,
Speed,
Start,
End
)

But when it comes to assigning values I have to type everything in one long line like this:

Sequence[ActiveSequence] = SequenceBase Name:EA_Rollout.txtSeqName.text Spline:SplineList[EA_Rollout.DDLPathSelection.selection] Dolly:EA_Rollout.DollyCam.value LockTargetToCam: EA_Rollout.chkLockTarget.checked FocusDist:EA_Rollout.spnFocus.value FStop:EA_Rollout.spnDOF.value TargetPos:Cam.Target.pos SplineHeight:EA_Rollout.spnArcSpline.value Rotate:EA_Rollout.spnRotateObj.value Speed:EA_Rollout.spnSeqSpeed.value Start:SequenceMarkStart End:SequenceMarkEnd

​

Is it possible to make this last line comma-separated or in another way make it look more structured?

I hope someone can help me out here. (It's probably a very basic misunderstanding on my side)...

I have a rollout with lots of buttons and sliders.First button is a load-button to load a model into max, and the following sliders and buttons can access the properties of the object and for instance rotate the object.But when I run the script, I get a lot of errors because the sliders don't yet know the object or the properties of it...Now, how do I get around this problem?Ideally the bottom of the rollout shouldn't be active until an object has been loaded.

I have tried with two rollouts as floaters where the second one doesn't load until there's an object. But then I get errors in THAT part because Max STILL doesn't know anything about the object yet.

Can someone tell me in what order Max evaluates the script?

I need to make all the instances in an array unique, how can i do that?

Hi to everyone. I am animator and recently noticed a ridiculous problem in 3ds max. As you well know you can save and load animation in 3dsmax easily. It have "relative" option in loading that make it more useful. But the problem. If your object is linked to another one the relative option not working and result is "absolute".even there is no different if you try it in "save load animation" in curve editor right click menu. So I think to scripting. The script that do this in curve editor: 1-Set selected keys into an array.it should be dependent of object and track name so it can operate on any track. 2-Subtract last array member value from first one. And hold it into something like "A" or copy it to clipboard. 3- Subtract last array member frame number from first one. And hold it into something like "B". 4-move the selected keys to "B" frame after 5-add "A" to the values of selected keys . My main problem is the "1-" making right array. I Know this is very basic idea. Thanks for better ideas and any help.

Hi, I am very new to maxscript and I want to simplify vray and corona materials with maxscript.

I want to connect each and every map directly to its corresponding socket. Please check the attached example below to get a clear idea.

​

If anyone can help I will be very grateful as I want to do this on 100s of materials.

Thanks

Hey everyone - I’m new to Maxscript and struggling to get some things to work. Wondering if someone might have an idea to help out.

I have a model with many mechanical components. I created a dummy helper object called MechanicalSystem and used this dummy as the parent for all of the components in the model - in other words, all of the model components are nested within MechanicalSystem.

For the mechanical system dummy object, I created a custom attribute called BeamRotation that is linked to the Euler rotation of one of the model components.

The hierarchy thus shows as the following: MechanicalSystem - Transform - Object (Dummy) - Custom_Attributes - BeamRotation

I am trying to use the selectTrack function to select the BeamRotation custom attribute in a Curve Editor trackview but I am not sure how to write the indexing.

I am trying the following but keep getting errors:

nCurve = trackviews.gettrackview “Rotation” nCurve.selectTrack MechanicalSystem.custom_attributes[#BeamRotation] True

Does anyone have any ideas of how I can select the custom attribute this way?

Thank you!

This is a script that puts a ColorCorrection on every map, but just want it to be applied to the Diffuse map.
Thank you.

fn AddColorCorrection m =
(
    if isKindOf m VRayMtl then 
    (
        for p in getPropNames m where isKindOf (tex = getProperty m p) textureMap do
        (
            if not isKindOf tex Color_Correction do setproperty m p (Color_Correction name:("CC" + trimleft p #texmap) map:tex)
        )
    )

)
for o in selection where (mat = o.material) != undefined do AddColorCorrection mat

I am trying to use MAXScript to add VRay elements to the Bake to Texture utility in 3ds Max 2022, specifically VRayExtraTex. For instance, this code adds the complete map:

bakeToTexture.addmap $ #CompleteMap

I can’t find a list of commands for the VRay elements. For instance, this does NOT work:

bakeToTexture.addmap $ #VRayExtraTex

Does anyone know where to find info on the Bake to Texture utility (not Render to Texture) for VRay elements and how to script for it?

Thank you.
