3dsMax script developer needed for database driven position animation

Hi guys we are looking for macscripters to help converting data from spread sheet to control/drive objects in max.

The requirements are

The spreadsheet will contain series of entities and their transformation(position/rotation) data over a period of time.
We need to load the spreadsheet into max and then apply the transformation to certain objects in the scene.
A simple straightforward interface in max is required. i.e., "load" and "apply" .

This is a initial development for one of our projects, if it works out well, we may expand the applications and possibly a long term development.

If interested please contact

lengxin@gmail.com.

Thanks

This Script will reset your scene, so save before running it.
resetMaxFile #noPrompt
s = sphere ()
spaz = s.pos.controller

-- Function Definition
fn AddKeysFromFile ctrl file =
(
local f = openFile file
t=0
while (not eof f) do
(
local x = addNewKey ctrl t
local a = [readValue f,readValue f,readValue f]
x.value = a
t += 10
)
close f
)
