(You can still use the right-click menu to do so, however.) Use this command to prevent user interface changes or inadvertent actions, such as floating toolbars, from happening due to mouse clicks. Default menu: Customize menu > Lock UI Layout Alt menu: Customize menu > Customization > Lock UI Layout Tip: Use this command if you find you are inadvertently selecting and floating UI elements such as the Command panel. Plug-In Manager The Plug-in Manager lets you manage plug-ins. The Plug-in Manager provides a list of all plug-ins found in the 3ds Max plug-in directories, including the plug-in description, type (object, helper, modifier, and so on), status (loaded or deferred), size, and path. The Plug-in Manager provides options to load any plug-in, regardless where it resides on disk. Unlike the File Properties dialog, which only lists plug-ins used in a scene, the Plug-in manager lists all loaded plug-ins, and allows you to manage them.

Download or read book Autodesk 3ds Max 2021 Python API Help written by Serdar Hakan DÜZGÖREN and published by Serdar Hakan DÜZGÖREN. This book was released on with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About Python in 3ds Max 3ds Max supports the development of Python-based tools and extensions so it can be customized and integrated into modern digital content creation pipelines. To enable this, 3ds Max integrates both the Python 2.7 and 3.7 interpreters, and exposes Python's rich functionality through two APIs, pymxs and MaxPlus. In addition, user interfaces for these Python-based tools can be created using the included PySide2 framework. Python 3 3ds Max includes a standard version of Python 3.7, located under [3ds Max Install]\Python37. You can use standard, pre-compiled extension libraries with this version of Python. This is now the default version for 3ds Max. Note: MaxPlus is not supported under Python 3. Python 2 3ds Max includes a customized Python 2.7.15 interpretor and environment (3dsmaxpy.exe ). The Python modules are located in [3ds Max Install]\python\lib\site-packages. They were compiled with Visual Studio 2017, to be binary compatible with 3ds Max. CPython libraries must also be built with the same compiler to be compatible with the Python environment. Note: extension libraries should be installed outside of the 3ds Max install location.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting Started This section provides several tutorials to help you learn Max Creation Graph. The first three tutorials walk you through creating basic components in MCG: Creating a tool, a component such as a geometry primitive or modifier you can use in 3ds Max. Creating a compound, a graph that can be packaged and used as a single node in other graphs. In this way you can modularize functionality, and "hide" complexity in graphs. Creating a package, a tool or compound packaged in a way that it can be distributed to other 3ds Max users. Additional tutorials then go into more detail about specific types of MCG graphs, such as modifiers and geometry. Creating a Tool This topic walks through using Max Creation Graph (MCG) to design a simple tool - a component such as a modifier or controller that can be used in your 3ds Max scene. In this case, we will create a graph that produces geometry, an icosahedron. 1. Open the Max Creation Graph Editor (Scripting > New Max Creation Graph). The Max Creation Graph editor consists of a menu bar and five windows: The main graph window, the Operator Depot, the View Navigator, the Node Properties, and the Message Log. 2. In the Operator Depot, expand Geometry > Mesh > Primitives to view Icosahedron Mesh Primitive. Drag this node into the graph editor window.

Download or read book Autodesk 3ds Max 2021 Managing Scenes Files and Projects written by Serdar Hakan DÜZGÖREN and published by Serdar Hakan DÜZGÖREN. This book was released on with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: File-Handling Commands The principal commands for handling files are found on the File menu. File-Handling Apps and Utilities There are several apps and utilities available that help you manage content and files: The 3ds Max Asset Library is a standalone app that allows you to quickly access 3D content on your local computer and network in a single view, making all content instantly searchable. You can download the app from the Autodesk App store. The Bitmap / Photometric Path Editor utility lets you view bitmap paths or remove them from the scene file. The File Finder is another resource for finding 3ds Max scenes. The Resource Collector copies or moves a scene's bitmaps into a single directory. The Fix Ambient utility resolves lighting issues with older versions of scene files. The Bitmap Pager Statistics dialog provides information that helps you resolve issues with scenes that require large amounts of memory for texture maps. The Substitute modifier lets you replace linked AutoCAD Architecture objects with native 3ds Max geometry and objects. Image File Formats You can use image file formats in a variety of ways: as textures for materials, as backgrounds to viewports, as background environments, as Image Input events in Video Post, and as images projected from a light. Similarly, 3ds Max can render to a number of popular image file formats. External References (XRefs) to Objects and Scenes External references to objects and scenes are another powerful way to manage a project, especially when it involves multiple contributors.

Download or read book Autodesk 3ds Max 2021 Lighting and Shading Book written by Serdar Hakan DÜZGÖREN and published by Serdar Hakan DÜZGÖREN. This book was released on with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Types of Lights 3ds Max provides two types of lights: photometric and standard. All types are displayed in viewports as light objects. They share many of the same parameters, including shadow generators. Photometric Lights Photometric lights use photometric (light energy) values that enable you to more accurately define lights as they would be in the real world. You can set their distribution, intensity, color temperature, and other characteristics of real-world lights. You can also import specific photometric files available from lighting manufacturers to design lighting based on commercially available lights. Standard Lights Standard lights are computer-based objects that simulate lights such as household or office lamps, the light instruments used in stage and film work, and the sun itself. Different kinds of light objects cast light in different ways, simulating different kinds of light sources. Unlike photometric lights, Standard lights do not have physically-based intensity values.
