Several updates including new presets, expression engines, and a Maxscript Process Operator improve the Data Channel Modifier's usability.
- A new Maxscript Process Operator has been added. This operator allows you to use scripting to process channel data in ways not available through other operators.
- The following new presets can now be accessed from the Data Channel modifier's Presets drop-down menu: Explode Elements, Map to Soft Selection, Random Element Color, and Smooth Push. See Data Channel Interface.
- New expression engines have been added to the Data Channel Modifier, including Expression Float and Expression Point3, letting you use expressions and the Expression Controller window to control the flow through the modifier.
- A new resizer handle has been added to the Data Channel modifier's Operator Stack. The stack height is preserved when the modified object is deselected and reselected or 3ds Max is closed and restarted.
