3dsMax repeating RIG

I want to share the script for recording/replaing the object’s interconnections (RIG io). The point is to remember the relationship between objects and then if necessary to repeat them at the sites with the same name.

Video
This video recorded with the sound, to tell the truth it’s not very good quality, but I believe that the presence of sound considerably enlivens the movie in any case…

3dsMax script – render each object separately

Overview

3dsMax very often involved in the process of the production of different parts, objects. If they have accumulated a huge amount for the game and you want to get an image of each of the items separately. For such tasks, I wrote a small macro script that allows you to render each of selected objects separately into the jpeg image in the specified directory.

Bug in the Lua’s Luna Wrapper

Luna wrapper for integrating C + + classes under Lua is quite handy and compact.

http://lua-users.org/wiki/LunaFour

But recently I decided to try its fourth version, where implemented properties and operations (assignment, add, etc.). So the property was getting the value from my class, but property didn’t want to set a value. It turned out that in the class Luna overrides __setindex method as the destination value.

I looked at the documentation on meta methods http://lua-users.org/wiki/MetamethodsTutorial

Please make the appropriate changes to the code Luna and it will work!

LScript

Что это?

Это скриптовый компилятор, интегрированный в среду LightWave. В основном синтаксис заимствован из C. Поэтому программисту очень легко в нем освоиться, главное это базовый набор команд, с помощью которого и появляется возможность управления геометрией, сценой, рендерингом и т.д.

На данный момент все серъезные программные продукты трехмерной графики имеют возможность написания к ним подключаемых модулей (PlugIn’ов), способных просто расширить функциональность программы. В данном случае система скриптов, которая также встроена в программу, является альтернативой подключаемым модулям. Использование последнего является удобным вариантом, однако скорость выполнения значительно уступает.
