New in the .NET SDK
"Const WStr&" is now "string"
The unmanaged const WStr& is now exposed as a managed string instead of ref string. This change makes the signatures of several methods nicer. It also makes some set and get methods into properties. Here are some examples:
| 3ds Max 2014 | 3ds Max 2015 |
|---|---|
IILayer.SetName( ref value ) |
IILayer.Name = value |
IILayerManager.GetLayer( ref layerName ); |
IILayerManager.GetLayer( layerName ); |
Accessing an unmanaged object from a .NET wrapper object
All wrappers have a way of accessing their unmanaged pointer from managed code through the INativeObject interface. In 3ds Max 2015, INativeObject.Handle has been renamed to INativeObject.NativePointer.
Newly exposed APIs
IBitmap.ToDib() is now available as well as any other function or property which returns a PBITMAPINFO.
