you could use a CoronaSelectMtl and loop over each material.

you are mixing position with rotation.

try:

Code: [Select]

sun.position = [0, 0, 0]

well, you have to get the specific render element you want to change.
there are different ways to do that but for example:

Code: [Select]

rem = maxOps.GetCurRenderElementMgr()

myRe = rem.GetRenderElement 0 -- get your renderelement here. The 0 represents the position of the renderelement in the list and starts with 0 for the first one.

myRe.mode = 0
myRe.nodesMonoOn = true
myRe.nodesMono = #($Box001,$Box002) -- inside the array are the objects you want add to the included list.

hope that helps

did you try the "showClass" command like I wrote in my previous post?

I usually run the "showClass" command with an additional "*.*" to get all the properties of that class.

for example:

Code: [Select]

showClass "CShading_LightSelect*.*"

the property is called ".nodeSource"

example:

Code: [Select]

LightSelectRE = getclassinstances CShading_LightSelect
LightSelectRE.nodeSource = 1

You could use it within scene manager as a pre-render script.

I helped someone on the forum out with a similar request once.
Please check the script at the end of this thread:

Let me know if that works for you or if you need additional features.

Doesn't seem to work with 2023 unfortunately.

(Or, it is crashing for me, at least).

works fine in 2023.1 here...

[Max] I need help! / Re: Script to change simple exposure

« on: 2022-10-21, 18:26:42 »

quick adjustment of the code from the corona wiki:

Code: [Select]

pipeline = getProperty renderers.current "colorMap.pipeline"
while pipeline != undefined do
(
operatorClass = classOf pipeline
if operatorClass == SimpleExposureOperatorPlugin then exit
pipeline = getProperty pipeline "colorMappingOperator.nextOperator"
)

if pipeline != undefined then pipeline.colorMappingOperator_simpleExposure += 0.333

to decrease the value just replace the "+=" with "-="
hope this helps
