Any scripter got spare 10 min ?

[Dariusz Makowski (Dadal)]

Heya

I got a big favor to ask some cool scripter... Basically can some1 (plox) make a simple script that can move my diffuse texture to > self-Illumination > and Bump ? (with possible value for bump to specify...or fix 50) for selected objects...

I got 1000 objects/1000 shaders.... its around 5k click to get it done -.-

Its standard material, not vray...

Plzzzzzzzzz

Thanx

Here we go:

matList = for o in selection where o.material != undefined collect o.material
    
for m in matList do (
    if (classof m == Standardmaterial) then (
        m.selfIllumMap = m.diffuseMap
        m.bumpMap = m.diffuseMap
        m.bumpMapEnable = true
        m.bumpMapAmount = 50 -- set it to whatever you need        
    )
)

Paste it into a new script window and evaluate all (Ctrl + E)

BTW, better test it with a few objects first.

Good, let me know if it works fine

[Dariusz Makowski (Dadal)]

It works ! It is absolutley amazing !!!

Btw if u can by any chance tell me how can I list all the functions that I can get off material/and other stuff, is there a command or manual ? I might try to learn some basic scripting o.o

In 3dsmax press F11 for MaxScript Listener.
Select an Object and typ in

show $

this shows you the properties of the selected Objekt.

show $.material

shows you the properties of the selected Object Material.

You can find the maxscript manual in 3dsmax-Menu under Help or here:

yep, "show" helps a lot while scripting.

dlparisi did post about some great video series for getting started into MaxScript:
