script for mass-editing volume grids?

[super gnu]

exists? i guess most people dont have many in a scene, but when doing clouds....... it gets quite painful quite quickly if you wish to edit the opacity multiplier on 200+ volume grids.

for now ive started using parameter wiring to link them all together, but its not ideal.


related note:

cant seem to centre the pivot on a volume grid.

of course.. maxscript listener..

This will turn all the preview modes off. I'm sure you can manipulate something similar to adjust opacity. (This will select all the grids in your scene)

volumeGrids = #()
for obj in objects do ( if isKindOf obj VRayVolumeGrid then ( append volumeGrids obj ) )
volumeGrids
for volumeGrid in volumeGrids do (
volumeGrid.prv_smoke = off
volumeGrid.prv_fuel = off
)

i have had a volumegrid tools UI made up for just this purpose of working with shitloads of clouds and smoke in a scene
ill see if i can share it

Mission Control will let you do this pretty easily. Here I've filtered the sizable parameter list to only show the preview options, then selected the two you wanted to change. Of course maxscript can get the job done, but with Mission Control you gain far more...erm...control
