where has the curve option gone? - ldotchopz - 08-06-2025
Opening in an old file because it has this curve function on, i thought i was going mad looking for it but it is there. was this removed because of the new value operators?
RE: where has the curve option gone? - tyFlow - 08-06-2025
Legacy parameters made redundant by Value operators (namely a few curves in some operators, as well as 'relative to property' settings previously available in a few places) have been hidden from the UI, and are only made visible if enabled, so that files remain backwards compatible. This is why you see it in your old file where it was previously enabled, but not in new files. If you're really set on using that setting in new files, you can enable the curve in the operator using MAXScript, as the hidden params are still visible as MAXScript-accessible properties.

How would i achieve the same control as the curve, it was pretty straight forward before but i can't seem to work it out with the value operator

Assign a value operator to X/Y/Z scale values, then set "mode" to range in the Value op. Then you can specify your min/max and distribute using the curve.
