Sorry for multiple angles but I didn't get a reply from Kresimir nor from Sitni Support (what's with you guys??) 
I'm writing a script for cloud layer creation using AB and I encountered
a couple of problems:
1. These properties seem to be read-only or even not connected to the scene parameters (Macro recorder shows them, so does showproperties, you can check their value using script, but changing their value doesn't change the value in UI nor in the scene. However the newly inserted value gets returned when checked through script???):
.stepsize
.LoNoiseGain
.LoNoiseBias
.NormalInvert
.RadialFalloff
.VisualFalloff
2. I couldn't find these commands for MaxScript (not in manual, don't show up in macro recorder):
- ShowinViewport = on?? - I only found the vptGeometryType
- how to select render engine - Render_type isn't working
- how to select shading type?
- is there a way to get a list of lights (daemons) used by AB (I can Add and delete but can't see the actual list of objects)
Please please please someone talk to me
