      Maxscript for non-programmers, part 2

      OK, let's dive in!

      Beginning Maxscript

      Variables

      So, open 3ds Max and open up the Script Editor as well as the Listener.  You can do this quickly by right clicking the little box in the lower left corner of the Max interface.  Now, before we start anything I'm going to introduce you to your new best friend.  Click in either the Editor or the Listener and then press F1.  This brings up the online Maxscript Reference.  If you're going to learn Maxscript, you're going to spend a fair amount of time here.  One of the best ways to use the help system is to go to the search tab.  You will find your answers faster here than sifting through the contents or index.

      Let's start by looking at some variables.

      Maxscript for Non-programmers, part 1

      When I first got into 3D I don't think I knew what a script was.  In my life I can recall taking two very basic programming classes, but by the time I was finally exposed to Maxscript, I could only remember that there were such things as variables, loops, if statements, and that you could 'print' stuff.  I knew nothing of common syntax, nothing about functions... it was all Greek to me.  And there's STILL a LOT that I don't know.  That puts me in the unique position to help out a lot of people, because I'm not the guy who assumes you already know something about programming and writes a post with all kinds of code and leaves you completely flustered.  I will be writing this article in a language that just about anyone can understand.

      Let's get started.

      So there are a few very basic things to know about scripting.

Free Maxscript - Displacement Roof Surfaces

Type: Free Maxscript
Vendor: Digital-X

Description:

Displacement Roof Surfaces is a free MaxScript that will take your existing roof geometry and properly apply UV Mapping coordinates to each roof plane and then apply convincing materials and displacement modifiers to the geometry.

Our goal is to eliminate the need for filling your 3d scenes with millions of polygons of roof tile geometry, thus keeping your viewports moving quickly and saving you hours of tedious work.

The general workflow is- make sure your roof geometry is properly prepared, run the script, choose your type of roof tile, then select the edges that represent ridges, hips, and gables, and click "Create". After the script runs, you can quickly adjust the color, variation, and tile size in the viewport and in real time.

Version 1.0 adds support for metric units and 2 more roof tile types, along with several other minor enhancements. The version history is shown below. To download the latest available version, simply add this item to your shopping cart. If you are not purchasing any other items, you do NOT need to enter any credit card info during the checkout process. Your file will be available for immediate download.

While these Maxscripts are free, Digitalxmodels would love your support!  If you find this script to be really helpful in your work, please consider making a small donation.  Thanks!!
