Introduction to Maxscript
Maxscript, a language used primary by 3dstudiomax for inter-application 3d editing. Anytime you give your user's a scripting language you hinder your ability to describe what you can do with it. Suffice to say bunches and bunches. Examples include TreeMaker, a dialog box pop-up inside max which let's you control spin dials indicating brances and leaves on a tree. Flower petal explorers are another example but i don't mean to just stay in nature (although we are all natural regardless in the grand scheme, add tangent here).
Maxscript covers version numbers sadly. Meaning not all maxscripts will work with your version of studio max. Beware i say, but don't be glum, there are some great sites out there which will offer up for absolutely nothing, some super fine maxscripts per version.
Most maxscripts carry the extension ms. Additionally, accessing maxscripts can be found underneath the hammer icon. A pop-open panel appears with a few controls for scripting. Here's a starter script to get your feet wet.
