MAXSCRIPT OVERVIEW

To allow its users for expandibility that extends beyonds what is already possible, Ornatrix provides MaxScript access to the two core components - hair and guides. It also provides interfaces to many objects and modifiers to make it easier to create macroscripts and incorporate Ornatrix functionality into UI. Some of the components that do provide interfaces include baked hair, baked guides, edit guides, hair from guides, and surface comb.

Several examples are included with Ornatrix, which should help you get started scripting custom strand and hair structures. You should be familiar with Ornatrix concepts on dealing with sparse and dense hair, as well as optional hair data, and guide channels. However many high-level functions take care of the most work in these areas so you don't have to worry about accesing them directly (unless you need to). In any case, being familiar with all Ornatrix core concepts is a plus.
