FumeFX MaxScript Suggestions

[Galagast]

Simulation Window:

1. stopPressed(), canceledPressed(), pausePressed()
   • These functions will help control heavy voxel FOR loops.
2. holdOpen and endBeep
   • Toggles for the Hold Open and End Beep checkboxes.

Preview Window:

1. Access to the options in the window (View, Refresh, Quality)...
   
2. getSize(), setSize()
   • Customly get/set the size of the preview image.
3. getImage()
   • Get the image in the window as a bitmap.

Script List:

• Maybe add a script file list. Each script can have its own set of callback functions, and each file is executed sequentially.
  
• If possible, each script could also run on their own separate thread.
  

Callbacks:

• preStep and preObject
  • callbacks that we could run before the simulation step starts.

Voxel Data Access

• A way to read voxel data directly from the FumFx node.
  e.g.
  
  Code:

  $MyFumeFx.getSmoke 10 25 38
• This would greatly help simplify reading data from other grids even while simulating.
  
• I'm also thinking that this can probably be used to create quick viewport previews.

Hello,

Thank you.
There will be more MXS callbacks regarding PW for ver 2.0.

That would be awesome.
