PyMax is originally developed by Blur Studio as Py3dsMax.

But, Py3dsMax and other tools are not opened since 03/29/2010. Then we decide to maintain by own.

OMFG...

Blur guy is back!! That's very good news for artists. We will survey latest Py3dsMax and decide what we do ;-)

How to Install

1. Download archive, extract and copy blurQT.dlx and pymax.dlx to plugins directory
2. set PATH and PYTHONPATH environment variable to python and Qt directory like:
3. launch 3ds max
4. have a fun!!

!!!!NOTICE!!!! 3ds max 2010 and 2011 use their own Qt DLL internally. it's undocumented, not officially announced. we have to avoid this problem.

• for 2010, rename Qt related dll files under 3ds max install direcotry
• for 2011, rename qt.conf under 3ds max install directory

Sample code

run python code

version_info.ms

s = "
import sys
print sys.version_info()
"

IPyMax.eval(s)

select hierarchy

selectTree.py

from Py3dsMax import mxs

def selectTree(node, selectMore=False):
#    print '====== selectTree ======'

    if selectMore == True:
        mxs.selectMore(node)
    else:
        mxs.select(node)

    children = node.Children
    for c in children:
        selectTree(c, selectMore=True)
