MaxScript Masters - find objects with Hair and Fur?

[Morne]

Hi all scripting guys and other clever people

I have an old scene with a gazillion objects and something has Hair and Fur on it. I can't see what in the render, but I need to find that object(s)

This should do it. Just run this.

(
	hairMods = getclassinstances HairMod
	clearSelection()
	for m in hairMods do
	(
		nds = refs.dependents m
		for n in nds where superclassof n == GeometryClass do selectMore n
	)
)

Thanks Daniel

If nothing happens, does that mean no objects has that modifier applied?
I opened all the groups and also the groups within groups

Nothing happens

If nothing gets selected then there is no modifier applied. You can also run this modified version and will print to the listener how many instances there in the scene in case the ref system isn't catching them.

(
	hairMods = getclassinstances HairMod
	format "Found % instances of HairMod\n" hairMods.count
	clearSelection()
	for m in hairMods do
	(
		nds = refs.dependents m
		for n in nds where superclassof n == GeometryClass do selectMore n
	)
)

or an alternative is this using a brute force approach

(
	-- Brute force mode
	for o in objects do
	(
		for m in o.modifiers where classof m == HairMod do selectMore n
	)
)

Best regards,
Daniel
