Hello People,


I'm a beginner with maxscript and I need to make the following task. Before I render a scene I need to use a pre render script file.

In this pre render script file, I need:
- to create a Target camera,
- to put this camera at the position [0,0,4]
- set the target to the position [0,0,0]
- set the camera pivot to rotate in [0,0,0]
- rotate n degree on the axi X (the pivot must be 0,0,0)
- rotate n degree on the axi Y (the pivot must be 0,0,0)
- rotate n degree on the axi Z (the pivot must be 0,0,0)

Do you know how to make it?

Thanks a lot!

So you want to animate the camera as well, or just set it to a certain rotation before render?

One application will write the pre render script and it will call 3ds max to render the image. The position of the camera will be generated dynamically, that's why I need this script.. I need to set the postion it on the fly.

This part will make the camera and position the target. If I have time, I'll continue!


rollout makeCamera "Pre Render Cam" width:163 height:79
(
button btn1 "Button" pos:[19,18] width:113 height:39
on btn1 pressed do
(
cam = targetCamera position:[0,0,4] target:(TargetObject position: [0,0,0])

)
)


createDialog makeCamera
