I am new here. I have been working with max for a little over a year. I am focused on particle systems especially Particle Flow.
that being said, I need help with maxscript and making a plugin tool to use with the particleflow script operator
for this scene
the attachment contains a zip file with the scene and the scripts, the script titled: particle_position_creation will take the 100 spheres and align sphere01 to particle01, sphere02 to particle02, and so on.
the second script titled: particle_position_capture takes the position of each sphere at a frame and writes the position data to a key.
this whole assembly is for making particles work with reactor by making real reactable geometry align and follow the particle flow particles.
what I want to do with this scene is to include rotation for the particles and have the real geometry follow that rotation and that data to be included in the keyframing script.
on top of that, I want this to have a UI interface, meaning there would be a window with an option to select the geometry type and to create the proper number of those objects whatever geometry, then an option to run the capture script
anyone got an idea how to do this?
whew, my hands hurt now!
