Change parameter for multiple objects at the same time

ldotchopz7FPNL — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 09:41:26 GMT

I have an alembic imported which is made of hundreds of unique objects, I want to change the playback type for all of them at the same time, rather than 1 by 1. I know this can be done with instances but i don't know how to do it with unique objects.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You could select all those alembic objects and run this in the maxscript listener.

for obj in $* do ( $.playbackType = 3 $.playbackTypeGen = 1 $.generationId = 1 )

Best Regards,

That worked really well thank you! Do you happen to know a script to copy the Playback Graph keyframe data from another object as an instance across all selected objects? instead of selecting them 1 by 1?

Thanks!

Sorry, I don't know how to do that. You might have luck in the programming subforum for that one.
