Hi, i found a bug inside Py3dsMax, when i hide a Dialog/Window or Max Window the Dialog disapears and I can’t call it back as if it had been closed.
Here is an exemple of a code wich gives me problems:
class window(blurdev.gui.Window):
def init( self, parent = None ):
super(window, self).init(parent)
self.setWindowTitle(‘Windowtest’)
win = window()
win.show()
Could you please help me solving this problem ?

Same problem as col-one. The dialog disappears when 3ds Max is minimized.
This is some sample code from the blur help pages (http://code.google.com/p/blur-dev/wiki/PyQt):
from blurdev.gui import Dialog
class HelloWorldDialog(Dialog):
def __init__( self, parent = None ):
Dialog.__init__( self, parent )
self.setWindowTitle('Hello, World')
import blurdev
blurdev.launch(HelloWorldDialog)
How do I prevent the dialog from disappearing? Please anyone…
What is the current state of python in 3ds max?
judging form this thread and others it looks like interest has waned , and blur has stopped supporting py3dsmax for more recent version of max.
Is anyone using python in 3dsmax 2013 or 2014?
Or has python died in 3dsmax?
http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/sciviz
Project Sci-Viz provides a Python engine and API for 3ds Max that enable Max users to run ePMV and autoPack from within 3ds Max 2013. The Sci-Viz plug-in is available only for 3ds Max 2013 64-bit and requires a 64-bit version of Python 2.6.6.
Hi there !
For reply to my post and solve the probleme about disapear qt window, we found the solution.
After spent lot of time to read the already existing blur script, we found something:
We must use our own migrate Qt max window, for do this we need import QtWinMigrate from classic PyQt and GetWindowHandle from Py3dsMax. Here an example:
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore, QtWinMigrate
from Py3dsMax import GetWindowHandle
class window(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__ (self, parent= QtWinMigrate.QWinWidget(GetWindowHandle())):
super(window, self).__init__(parent)
self.setWindowIcon(QtGui.QIcon(iconPath))
self.setWindowTitle( 'maxWindow' )
class testWin(window):
def __init__(self, parent = None):
super(testWin, self).__init__(parent)
self.setWindowTitle('testQtmaxWindow')
win = testWin()
win.show()
thanks for your post col-one, it is working for me. However there are other solutions, which confuse me. It seems that simply adding this:
self.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_DeleteOnClose, False)
somewhere in the constructor of my Dialog/Window/Whatever prevents it from disappearing when 3ds Max is minimized. I found this comment in the treegruntdialog.py that states the same:
# protect the memory
from PyQt4.QtCore import Qt
inst.setAttribute(Qt.WA_DeleteOnClose, False)
Can anyone try and verify?
I’ve compiled PyZmq and P4Python for Max and Maya 2015.
You can get them here: https://github.com/arturleao/YCDIVFX_MaxPlus in the Externals folder.
hi am new for python and its integration into max
am just trying to deal with
I started with binding sip for max and installing PYQT
but its seam that am doing something wrong because i get a fetal error massage in my command prompt
so i want to ask
You shouldn’t have to do any of this.
For example, 3dsmax 2015 is provided with python 2.7 (c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax 2015\python).
Then for using Qt, it would start with :
from PySide import QtGui
Check the help file, section “using pyside”
You speak about a command line prompt error, be more precise on what you’re trying to do.
ok
I did installed PYQT 4.8.6 64 bit
to the python folder site package
with insuring that i had the right registry keys as christopher said at this :
https://area.autodesk.com/blogs/chris/pyqt-ui-in-3ds-max-2014-extension
and when I executed the demoPyVersionTool.py
I get this result
3ds Max 2014 path environment variable C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2014;C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2014\python\Lib\site-packages;C:\Program Files\Python;C:\Program Files\Python\Lib\site-packages;C:\Program Files\Python\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5;
MaxPlus module False

thanks MrPingouin ur pointing was helpfull
Hey,
Im new at 3dsmax but i have several python projects running.
I think about to get the camera position and export it with python.
I would like to get something like this:
30,30,30
25,30,30
20,30,30
Each line on frame.
I read a lot at the APi-Page and looked into pythondemos, but I
only find demos that are creating objects.
the camera is in the scene and this is moving.
Starting python with the mxscript is working, but
how to I get the camera and how do I get the position
of it to write it down into a file.
for loop:
Thanks a lot!
Hi everyone
I was wondering if one could access the rollout control or an equivalent within pyside in max 2017 ?
Thanks
