Max SDK Version Numbers.
The SDK version number is updated every time a build of Max containing SDK changes is distributed to 3rd party plugin developers. This can be an alpha, beta or release candidate build. Although we make every effort to keep Max backward compatible with plugins built against previous versions of the Max SDK, occasionally plugins are required to be re-built against the latest version of the Max SDK in order for Max to load them. Plugins built against a certain version of the Max SDK will not load in previous versions of Max. Note that the Max SDK version number is encoded in VERSION_3DSMAX. SDK backward compatibility history: 3ds Max R5 is binary compatible with 3ds Max R4 3ds Max R8 is binary compatible with 3ds Max R6 3ds Max R9.0 not binary compatible with previous releases 3ds Max R10 is binary compatible with 3ds Max R9 3ds Max R11 not binary compatible with previous releases 3ds Max R12 not binary compatible with previous releases 3ds Max R13 is binary compatible with 3ds Max R12 3ds Max R14 not binary compatible with previous releases 3ds Max R15 not binary compatible with previous releases 3ds Max R16 is binary compatible with 3ds Max R15 3ds Max R17 not binary compatible with previous releases 3ds Max R18 is binary compatible with 3ds Max R17 3ds Max R19 not binary compatible with previous releases 3ds Max R20 not binary compatible with previous releases 3ds Max R21 not binary compatible with previous releases 3ds Max R22 not binary compatible with previous releases 3ds Max R23 is binary compatible with 3ds Max R22 3ds Max R24 is not binary compatible with previous releases 3ds Max R25 is not binary compatible with previous releases See also VERSION_3DSMAX LibVersion

CreateInstance()

CoreExport void* CreateInstance	(	SClass_ID	superID,
		Class_ID	classID
	)

Creates an instance of a class specified by superclass ID and class ID.

This can be useful when there is no convenience method for creating the desired class.

Many classes have named IDs defined in plugapi.h. You can also obtain the numeric class ID of a class using the MaxScript ShowClass() function, or from an object in a scene using $obj.ClassID(). Here's an example of output for a selected skylight object:

$.classid  --> #(2079724664, 1378764549)
$.superclassid --> 48
showclass "skylight" --> Skylight : light {7bf61478,522e4705}

Example:

This example creates a skylight instance.

GenLight* lightObjLight = (GenLight*) CreateInstance(LIGHT_CLASS_ID,Class_ID(0x7bf61478, 0x522e4705));
