In 3DMax I would like to get the equation of the path of an animated object, which I believe to be a cubic bezier.
Through MaxScript I can get the position versus time equations (X,Y,Z) from the Curve Editor, using in_tangents, out_tangents, etc., and consequently determining the 4 points that define a cubic bezier (vertices and handles).
But how do these equations relate to the Z by X or Y by X plotting in the viewport?
Thank you.
