Color RGB Controller (Point3 XYZ Controller) 311
float or boolean class controller, such as sphere’s
Hemisphere or Smooth track.
Boolean controller key values can be changed in
on of two ways: through Track View’s Dope Sheet
editor or through MAXScript.
Note: Although the Boolean controller displays a
funct ion curve in Track View’s Curve Editor, it
does not display keys. Key time and value must be
changed in the Dope Sheet editor.
