The following changes have been made to the MAXScript Online Reference for the 3ds Max 9 update:
Added
missing
documentation of the
IScriptCtrl
Interface originally
introduced in 3ds Max
8. This interface provides
full access to the new scripted
controllers.
Added
missing
documentation of the
hdr:
bitmap value
parameter
originally
introduced in
3ds Max
8. This parameter allows
the construction of 32 bit per channel bitmaps instead of the
default 8 bit per channel bitmaps.
Added
missing
documentation of the
outputHDRbitmap:
parameter to the
render() method
introduced originally
in 3ds Max
8. This parameter allows
the rendering to 32 bit per channel bitmaps instead of the default
8 bit per channel bitmaps.
Added
missing
documentation of the
Go To
Line Or Character dialog available in the
MAXScript Editor since 3ds Max
8. By pressing
Ctrl+J, the user can open
a modal dialog to enter a line and/or character number to jump to
the corresponding location in the source code, for example based on
the output of the Debugger or an error message in the
Listener.
Added
missing
documentation of the
skinOps.setWeight(),
skinOps.weightTool(),
skinOps.isWeightToolOpen()
and skinOps.closeWeightTool()
methods added in
3ds Max
8 to the SkinOps struct
exposed by the Skin
Modifier. Also added a missing
third boolean parameter to the skinOps.unNormalizeVertex()
method.
Added
missing
documentation of the
all:
optional keyword argument
to the makeDir()
method in the topic
External File
Methods.
Added
missing
documentation of the following methods
in the ATSOps
Interface exposing the Asset
Tracking System: OpenProject(),
CloseProject(), GetFilesByFileSystemStatus(),
GetMinVersion(),
GetMaxVersion(),
GetVersion(),
GetNotificationProviderIndex()
Added
missing
documentation of the IXrefProxy
Interface
and
the IXrefObject
Interface
exposed by the XRef
Object.
Added
the previously
undocumented methods biped.loadFigJustTwists()
and biped.loadFigNoTwists()to Biped Load and
Save.
Added
the previously
undocumented methods biped.createCopyCollection(),
biped.numCopyCollections(),
biped.getCopyCollection(), biped.deleteCopyCollection(),
biped.deleteAllCopyCollections() to Biped Copy and Paste
Posture.
Added
previously undocumented methods related to Biped Twist
Poses controls.
Added
previously undocumented methods related to Biped Quaternions /
Euler controls.
Changed
the wording of the animationRange
documentation
to
match the terminology used in the Render Scene Dialog and to allow
for easier searching.
Changed
the wording of the <index_integer>
parameter description in
the Reactor
Controllers topic. The original
description was: "...The order of reactions is the order in which
they are created, and the order in which the reactions are listed
in the Reactor Parameters dialog." This is no longer correct. The
controller and the dialog have been refactored several releases ago
and the dialog now reorders the reactions based on their values, so
the order in the dialog does not match the creation order
anymore.
The new description is: "...The order of reactions is the order in
which they are created".
