Re: 3dsmax scripts - progress capture
Ok I have the script basically where I want it, but I have to work on the timing a bit. Apparently viewports don't like to switch from one view to another instantly. With that said, I think some people might be opposed to having controls cut and their viewport move around for a split second. Although it would take longer… -
3dsmax scripts - progress capture
Hey peeps, I'm kind of new here so go easy on me ;) Over the past couple of months as I've been developing my portfolio, both art and code, I started playing around with max script to make some simple scripts and help take the monkey work out of Max.

I definitely think that renderhj's suggestion of just grabbing the viewport is a good one, personally I don't want to wait for a render every time (especially if I have settings set up for high-quality light tracing etc.), usually a… -

Fixed a bug caused by bad syntax. It should work without a problem now :) -
Re: 3dsmax scripts - progress capture
Hey R I don't know if this what you are looking into already, but animation>preview should give you exactly that : a viewport capture taken from within Max. Only thing is that you might want to force in 'shaded mode' to avoid taking wireframe shots now and then.., -
Re: 3dsmax scripts - progress capture
Looks coolies, always wanted this. :) Thanks. -
Re: 3dsmax scripts - progress capture
Hmm, I'll look into grabbing the viewport, though it may end up being a Windows thing and outside of Max's capabilities. But here is an image of the progress tool
