Inside 3dsmax we currently use just 3dsmax mechanisms - see:
https://corona-renderer.com/wiki/corona_shade_context
https://corona-renderer.com/wiki/maxscript

We also have standalone reader with published format spec, and NDA C++ API/SDK

are you interested in some specific exposed functionality?

Thank you Ondra! i'll ask again if anything specific comes up.
Right now we are trying to see if we can create some in-house hack for automatic exposure, but i haven't had our programmer look at it yet.

oh, that should be doable - you can read the whole VFB with the maxscript function, and you can change Corona parameters with maxscript standard renderers.current.paramname = value
