Overview
Maxscript Builder is a browser-based tool I created to simplify the process of writing Maxscript for Autodesk 3ds Max. It’s a visual environment where users can build both script logic and user interfaces without having to manually write code.
This project helps artists, technical directors, and tool developers without strong coding backgrounds to create 3ds Max tools.
Key Features
-
Visual Logic Builder
A drag-and-drop interface lets users construct logic flows visually, making it easy to define behavior and functionality without writing raw script. -
UI Designer for 3ds Max
Users can design user interfaces using a visual layout editor, with automatic code generation for Maxscript rollout UIs. -
Code Output
The tool generates readable maxscript code that can be copy-pasted directly into 3ds Max for immediate use.
Who It's For
-
3D Artists who want to automate tasks without writing code
-
Technical Artists creating tools for their teams
-
Educators teaching scripting concepts through visual metaphors
-
Anyone looking to prototype or generate Maxscript more efficiently
Why It Matters
Maxscript can be powerful but they have poor documentation for their syntax, objects, and classes. Maxscript Builder lowers the barrier by allowing users to focus on logic and design without syntax concerns. It’s ideal for speeding up tool creation in production or learning environments.
