I am supposed to do something like
first_vmap_in_scene=VMap();
In the layout scene i have some objects with texture maps and subpatch weightmaps, but i get always undefined.
Any example script or similar there to see how to acces this info?. Thanks!!

checking the docs ( http://www.newtek.com/products/lightwave/downloads/updates/lscripts/LScriptUser.pdf)

...i think the constructor is wrong.

needs to be something like:

first_vmap_in_scene = VMap(VMWEIGHT) or
first_vmap_in_scene = VMap(VMTEXTURE)

So..it needs a little hint at what type of VMap you want to get at. Good luck.

No, that's not the problem. See this from lscriptrefreference.pdf

"Invoking VMap() without a specific Vertex Map type
argument will cause VMap() to return the first Vertex Map it
encounters in the system."

I don't know why, but know it works as expected :?!
Thanks!
