Ok so here we go - we at Blur had released a plugin about a year ago that began exposing Python functionality to Maxscript....

We since decided that it was not good enough.

We have developed a way to run Python as a complete replacement of Maxscript in 3dsMax, utilizing Python and PyQt to develop tools, we're hoping to revolutionize the ability to develop fast, efficient and powerful utilities.

All the information you need to get going can be found at our new development website:

Please feel free to post on the wiki pages for requests, bugs, and comments. Its still very beta and are looking forward to trying to make this the new future of programming in 3dsMax.

Please keep in mind - this is very much beta, and the code is as-is, but we will appreciate feedback as it'll make our own code more stable.

Enjoy!
