Scripting commands

[Guest]

Hi,

I am looking to create a few scripts in Rhino. I am having issues locating commands/names for V-Ray. Some one suggested that the commands would be similar to 3ds max. How ever this is not the case as far as I can tell. In Rhino if I go to display object properties for a dome light it says the name [varies].

Is there a command list or syntax for scripting within V-Ray for Rhino?

Thanks,

I didn't find a command list, but when I inserted a dome light--following up on your example--the Rhino command line echos "_visDomeLight". So I tried "Call Rhino.Command("_visDomeLight"). The V-Ray dome light object is a group of a surface and a point light. If you ungroup it, it breaks it. I don't know how you would access it's properties through RhinoScript. Do you just want to place it or do you want to adjust it's properties, too? What other V-Ray objects/properties are you trying to affect via a script?

Hi,

Thank you for your help. I am looking to add a dome light and adjust its properties such as light intensity and if possible HDR rotation.

Hi,

I can create a dome light with the command rhino command "_visDomeLight"; But how would I go about changing the light intensity? I tried "_light01.intensity=3 but nothing happens.

Can anyone confirm if http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/200R..._maxscript.htm works in Rhino? Is the scripting different? I cant seem to find any documentation like the above but for Rhino.

YES, it's different. (that one it's MAX script).

Standard RhinoScript is a VisualBasic language package. MAXScript is either a VC++ or .NET language, so they are not the same. However, you can also create plug-ins with the .NET, so the syntax would be the same. That said, I wouldn't even know where to start with .NET.

Can you be more specific about what you want to do? Maybe there is a workaround.

I know its different, but I cant see any other page/resource like that for Rhino :/ Some have mentioned the commands would be the same across software packages. It is just the in between bits that would differ.

Thanks for the help. I think I have got what I need now between various resources. Shame its not all in one place
