Maxscript - Applying script to multiple objects
I've created some scripts in the past, but most of them were grabbed from the Listener and even then they were pretty basic. Now I wanted to automate the applying of a quad chamfer + turbosmooth with some settings, but I cannot make it work when doing it for multiple objects. After some reading, the best I could come up… -
