1.1About This Guide

Everything on the TenPix Cloth panels can also be driven from MAXScript: for wiring values together, batch set-ups, render-farm scripts, or tools of your own built on top of the plug-in.

This guide describes the MAXScript interface of TenPix Cloth version 1.0544 for 3ds Max 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027. The four builds are compiled from one source and expose the same names. It has six parts:

• this chapter: how to address the modifiers and the rules that apply to every script;
• Chapter 2: worked examples, each with what you should see;
• Chapter 3: every modifier property, generated from the plug-in's own parameter blocks;
• Chapter 4: the TnpixTool interface, which reaches what a property cannot: painting, material values, collider rows, pins, caches and more;
• Chapter 5: the TnpixPreset interface for material presets;
• Chapter 6: the TnpixGraph interface, which opens and closes the TenPix Graph, and Appendix A: the field names and codes the functions take.

For what each setting does to the cloth, see the TenPix Cloth Artist Manual; this guide describes how to reach it.
