Scripted Behavior
A behavior defined by MAXScript. When you use the
cognitive controller on
page 4776 with
crowd animation on page 4680 , you can add conditional
expressions written in MAXScript that impose changes in behavior.
Scripted Utility Panel
A scripted utility panel is a custom command-panel rollout created using the
MAXScript scripting language. They let you create a graphical user interface
to a MAXScript script.
Scripted utility panels are available through the Utilities drop-down menu in
the MAXScript rollout of the Utilities panel.
Scripts (Motion Flow)
In
motion flow mode on page 4426 , a script is a list of clips (BIP files) that are
executed sequentially to animate a character. You can create scripts either
manually or automatically using crowd animation on page 4680 .
Scripting
A scripting language is a programming language embedded in a host
application, and used to automate tasks within the application. 3ds Max
provides MAXScript as its scripting language.
MAXScript controls are located on the Utilities panel.
Seed Value
In NURBS sub-objects, a location in parameter space that is used to resolve
ambiguities in some kinds of sub-object creation. The seed value is a location
on a parent object, and the location nearest to the seed value that satisfies the
creation condition is the one that the software chooses. For a curve, the seed
value is a U location in the curve's parameter space. For a surface, the seed
location is a pair of UV coordinates in the surface's parameter space.
