Preset configuration

[Anonymous]

Hello, I have the next doubt:

I have 3dstudio 2017 version. I made a "preset" where I customized all the parameters that i wanted.

Each time I open "Render Setup" I get the preset that the program brings up by default and i have to open the drop-down list and search for mine.

Is there any way to always open the one I personalized directly? Thanks in advance! Regards!

Hi,

This is just a guess... because I can't test it myself (I don't have permission to delete files from the Program Files folder on my PC), but have you tried deleting the presets you don't need from C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2017\renderpresets ?

You can also switch the Render Preset by using MAXscript:

rpsFilePath = "X:\\projects\presets\[Insert PreSet Name Here].rps"
 
if doesFileExist rpsFilePath then
	renderPresets.LoadAll 0 rpsFilePath
else
	messagebox "The RPS file can't be located" title:""

Just put your .RPS into the correct folder (and change the information in line 1 above, to match it).

When this code is run it wll change the preset in the Render Setup window (Even though it will say "Preset: No preset selected") it has changed.

You can test the code first (In the Scripting menu -> New script) and if it works, then save it as an .ms file and put it into your C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2016\scripts\Startup folder. It will run every time 3DSMax starts.
