3ds Max Scripting

Overview

3ds Max has two scripting interfaces. MAXScript is the built-in language; its reference (the MAXScript Help) documents the classes, properties and functions used below. Python talks to the same runtime through the pymxs module, so the classes and functions in the MAXScript reference are available as pymxs.runtime.<name> (max ... commands are not; run them with pymxs.runtime.execute("max quick render")). Python 2 and the MaxPlus API were removed in 3ds Max 2022.
