Maxscript

Uses Maxscript to manipulate a data channel. Possible return values are float or point 3.

The Maxscript operator provides vertex data .

Maxscript Parameters rollout

Edit Script button

Opens the Maxscript processing engine code for editing. The operator supplies a default script that demonstrates how to set up the “Process” function to use the mesh to generate both float and Point3 data for vertices or faces. This script may be edited to perform various useful functions.

In addition to the node and polymesh, the Process function is given the geometry type being processed (vertices or faces) and the output type (float or Point3), the output array that must be filled in with the results of the script processing, and the time at which processing is being performed. The script can use this information in many different ways to generate useful data about the mesh that can be processed by subsequent Data Channel operators.

Output menus

Sets the two types of data to output: either Vertices or Faces, and Float or Point3.
