    Thread: Access mesh Ngon faces in script
Post: RE: Access mesh Ngon faces in script

Ah ha... investigating properties via reflection I can see that tfObj does actually have a member called 'node' where I can get the INode and it's name from - it isn't documented in the tyflow script...

Post: RE: Access mesh Ngon faces in script

There is no precise way I can find to work around this so far. Even using the 3dsmax core interface as there no way to get the INode for a tfObj or even be sure of the face correspondence between a t...

Post: Access mesh Ngon faces in script

It would be great if you could easily access the ngon polygons of a mesh object from the script operator rather than just the triangles!

Post: Share objects across multiple script operators

There doesn't appear to be an easy way to create data structures that survive and are accessible across different script operators across the whole flow. You can create static member variables for ...

I can't see an obvious way to expose the Tyflow interface and classes so they can be used by a custom C# dll.  There is no type library etc.  For example if from a tyflow operator script I call a cust...

    Thread: tf.SetRot bug?
Post: tf.SetRot bug?

I'm beginning to suspect that the quaternion passed to tf.SetRot is an 'unexpected way around'? Given 3dsmax uses a RHS with Z up, X to the left and Y out of the screen.  Then a rotation that maps ...

It would be really helpful if there was a mode in the spawn operator that output 'fresh particles' with no properties or shapes.  For example removing/nulling lots of unneeded custom properties on spa...
