RailClone exposes its style graphs as XML, opening them to MaxScript automation, pipeline tools and, inevitably, LLM experiments.

Max Ultra MCP gives AI assistants a local, tool-based route into live 3ds Max scenes, with scene inspection, MaxScript, viewport and render control.

现在使用的是MAX自带的批渲染作为替代，但是这又出现新的问题，通过maxscript添加的批渲染输出路径会被max自动修改文件名，这已经让我无法判断图像是否正确存储出去，甚至有时候批渲染还不存储图像。 根源上的问题是使用 vfbControl #saveimage jpgPath 语句无法控制存储图像质量，其他格式的图像IO更是迷一样 有没有一个方法，可以存储vray VFB的渲染图，包含降噪等图层效果，又可以设置图像输出参数。 （最好是vray VFB的方法，语法可以C#或者maxscript）

I have a MaxScript tool that retrieves the render camera using the following code: fn getRenderCamera = ( viewport.getCamera index:rendViewIndex ) This works **only as long as the viewport layout stays the same**. If a colleague changes the viewport configuration (for example switching from 1 view to 4 views), then the **viewport indexes change** , and rendViewIndex no longer points to the same viewport. This causes two problems: 1. The script sometimes throws an error because the index no longer corresponds to a camera viewport. 2. In other cases it returns a completely different camera, because another viewport now occupies that index. Is there a more reliable way to get the active camera via maxscript? Or do I have to tell my team to only work in one viewport layout? I haven't found any other method so far..

Hi all, I was seeking some help/advice. I used to be fairly adept with maxscript 15-20 years ago, but now i havent touched it in a long time. I am just getting back into max and need a script that i used to have (i wrote for a job at work and lost it when i left). I need a tool/button that allows me to select a polygon on an edit poly and move/align that polygon face with a polygon/face on another object (locking the movement to either x y or z, whichever one is normal to the polygon being moved) Essentially mimicking the align tool that exists but alowing me to align to a face/polygon rather than the extents of the target object. so i can easily align a face to say an object that has a recessed face Obviously this is fairly easy to do with autogrids, but i need to reduce the number of steps as i do this task hundreds of times per model. I believe i may have scripted this in the past with autogrids - So i think i had a button that i pressed after selecting the edit poly polygon i wanted to move that created an autogrid on whatever face you clicked on next (normal aligned), then it passed on the coordinates to the face you wanted to move, before culling the autogrid. I only realy want the poly face to move relative to its normal (whether that be x/y/z direction) Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance

Is there any way to trigger the **Bitmap format settings dialog** (for EXR, TIFF, PNG, etc.) directly from **MaxScript**? I know how to configure the BitmapIO classes programmatically (for example using "jpegio.setQuality"), but for my batch rendering plugin I’d like users to access the **native format configuration dialogs** instead — the same ones that appear when saving an image or setting the output file in the Render Setup dialog. I understand that once a BitmapIO class is configured, its settings persist for the entire 3ds Max session, which is ideal for my workflow since multiple scenes can reuse the same configuration. So my question is: Is there any way to **call these format-setting UIs directly from MaxScript** , or is the only workaround to do something “hacky” — like creating a temporary bitmap, saving it to trigger the configuration dialog, and then deleting it again? It would make sense if these IO settings were accessible through a natively callable UI interface in MaxScript. I attached an example image of the dialog I mean.
