3dsmax 2021 and VS Code

[mrBort]

Hello Everybody,

Does someone know how to setup VS Code for scripting with 3dsmax 2021 and debugging and using the Python37. I searched the Dev docs but i could not find any tutorial. 

When i put "C:\\Program Files\\Autodesk\\3ds Max 2021\\Python37\\python.exe" as the Python Interpreter for VS Code it is unable to detect it. But the 2.7 Python with 3dsmaxpy.exe works.

I am especially interested in autocompletion & linting with  pymxs

Many Thanks,

Bernd

Hello @mrBort ,

Please check out this Python 3 tutorial in our online help.

Look for the section called "Debugging 3ds Max Python code from VS Code".

I hope this helps,
