API/SDK for max?

[tony_morev]

is there a publicly available API/SDK for max?
thanks!

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?

[tony_morev]

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
