:D: Merry Christmas :D:

Recently we posted on the Autodesk Developer Network an experimental library we have been developing in conjunction with EPHERE called MaxSharp. MaxSharp provides a simplified wrapper around the 3ds Max 2011 API that can be used from both Python and C#. If you are an ADN Sparks member you can download it from this url. Be aware that because this is a research project you can’t redistribute the DLLs, but you can still use them for your own internal use.

I approve of this message.

Awesome! I’m working on a project that could use this like crazy. (a standalone tool that passes maxscript commands to build geometry)

Edit: Oh wait… Max 2011…

I have my fingers crossed. A company that produces very little developer-centric innovation for a product that has piss poor developer support makes me a bit pessimistic. Chris seems to have a good pedigree and know his stuff, here’s hoping Autodesk doesn’t mismanage him and (t)his project into the ground.
