The following changes have been made to the MAXScript Online Reference for the 3ds Max 9 update:
Additions
Added missing dommission documentation of the
IScriptCtrl Interface originally introduced in
3ds Max 8. This interface provides full access to the new
scripted controllers.
Added missing dommission documentation of the
hdr:
bitmap value parameter originally introduced in
3ds Max 8. This parameter allows the construction of 32 bit per channel bitmaps instead of the default 8 bit per channel bitmaps.
Added missing documentation of the
outputHDRbitmap:
parameter to the
render() method introduced originally in
3ds Max 8. This parameter allows the rendering to 32 bit per channel bitmaps instead of the default 8 bit per channel bitmaps.
Added missing
documentation of the Go To Line Or Character dialog available in the MAXScript Editor since
3ds Max 8. By pressing
Ctrl+J, the user can open a modal dialog to enter a line and/or character number to jump to the corresponding location in the source code, for example based on the output of the Debugger or an error message in the Listener.
Added missing documentation of the
skinOps.setWeight(), skinOps.weightTool(), skinOps.isWeightToolOpen()
and
skinOps.closeWeightTool()
methods added in
3ds Max 8 to the SkinOps struct exposed by the
Skin Modifier. Also added a missing third boolean parameter to the
skinOps.unNormalizeVertex()
method.
Added missing documentation of the
all: optional keyword argument to the
makeDir()
method in the topic
External File Methods.
Added missing documentation of the following methods in the
ATSOps Interface exposing the Asset Tracking System:
OpenProject(), CloseProject(), GetFilesByFileSystemStatus(), GetMinVersion(), GetMaxVersion(), GetVersion(), GetNotificationProviderIndex()
Added missing documentation of the
IXrefProxy Interface and the
IXrefObject Interface exposed by the XRef Object.
Added the
previously undocumented methods
biped.loadFigJustTwists()
and
biped.loadFigNoTwists()
to
Biped Load and Save.
Added the
previously undocumented methods biped.createCopyCollection(), biped.numCopyCollections(), biped.getCopyCollection(), biped.deleteCopyCollection(), biped.deleteAllCopyCollections()
to
Biped Copy and Paste Posture.
Added previously undocumented methods related to
Biped Twist Poses controls.
Added previously undocumented methods related to
Biped Quaternions / Euler controls.
Other Minor Changes
Changed the wording of the
animationRange documentation to match the terminology used in the Render Scene Dialog and to allow for easier searching.
Changed the wording of the <index_integer> parameter description in the
Reactor Controllers topic. The original description was: "...The order of reactions is the order in which they are created, and the order in which the reactions are listed in the Reactor Parameters dialog." This is no longer correct. The controller and the dialog have been refactored several releases ago and the dialog now reorders the reactions based on their values, so the order in the dialog does not match the creation order anymore. The new description is: "...The order of reactions is the order in which they are created".
