    Description

    This class will discuss the various techniques for automating 3ds Max software. We’ll first cover techniques to build automated routines to drive complex tasks within 3ds Max. 3ds Max includes a local tool called 3dsmaxbatch that enables local automation of complex tasks. This functionality is also available in the cloud under the Forge Design Automation API. We’ll discuss MAXScript, Python, C++, and .NET approaches to automation, and how to connect your routines to the web to drive configurable automation.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn how to use 3dsmaxbatch tool to automate tasks
    • Learn how to expose functionality from C++, .NET, Python, and MAXScript to enable configurable automation
    • Learn how to use Forge Design Automation for 3ds Max to automate your tasks in the cloud
