Maxscript now trendy in 2009
June 10th, 2008 by andy
Fair enough, 3DStudio Max 2009 has been out for a little while, but today was the first time that I’ve opened a little MaxScript in order to do some scripting. Imagine my surprise when I discover that somebody at Autodesk has actually invested some time in making the MaxScript IDE whizzy!
Bless that programmer! For feast your eyes at what he has done:
- Handy tab bar for handling multiple documents. Woo!
- Pointless grey vertical line to show you where your tab indents are. Wow!
- Syntax highlighting that actually works without you having to refresh all the time. Whee!
- A status bar with stuff you probably never need to worry about on it. Gosh!
- Those collapsable between-the-bracey buttons that you have in Visual Studio to make really long code, shorter. Neat!
- Line numbers to make you feel a bit more like a programmer. Yay!
So there we have it! A comprehensive list of all the reasons why you should upgrade to Max2009 immediately!*
*note: it’s entirely possible that some of these features were in Max2008.
