Get WorldModifier material (3dsmax 2017)

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm working on exporter for 3dsmax2017, I want to be able to export Hair & Fur modifier.

But I can't find a way to get the Root color material map (if exsits)

Hey,

did you try 'show $.modifiers[1]' ? You should be able to see a property named similar to this map-slot. Otherwise check the mxs-docs if you find an interface for this modifier. These offer more options on changing things in max.

Best,

Martin

Which language is "show $.modifiers[1]"? were using C# to build the exporter.

I would love to use the documentation but can't find the right place, any guidance will be deeply appreciated.

Thank again 🙂

This is MaxScript ... I was not aware that you are using C-Sharp. Too bad, I am not familiar with this language and the only advise I can give is to check 3ds Max SDK dokumentations, but I am sure, you already did this 🙂

Best,

Martin

I'd look in the ParamBlock (get paramblock by index with the GetParamBlock method and see if you find it there; you can have a look here for one example of finding a property by name). If it's not there, I don't know what else to try.
