| MAXScript 101 is a digital video-based introductory course for MAXScript, the scripting language in Autodesk Media & Entertainment's 3ds Max®, gmax® and Autodesk VIZ applications, designed and presented by MAXScript's creator, John Wainwright. The course comprises nearly 3 1/2 hours of material recorded at 800x600 resolution, viewable on any computer with a Windows Media Player installed. It teaches the fundamentals of scripting and provides an introduction to the main features of the language and how they can be used to perform tasks like scene generation, animation, material mapping, mesh export, etc. and how to build these into tools with custom dialog windows. The course can be used by artists and animators without any prior programming or scripting experience to learn scripting from scratch, or by those experienced in other languages to gain a quick and practical introduction to MAXScript's features. The source code for the example scripts is provided on the courseware disc. |
