Keyscript
<
How about sharing the secrets of some of your particle animations or anything
that involves applying/copying keys or motions to multiple objects?
>
Some of those particle-systyem "secrets" will be in a script for a simple
particle system that I will be uploading soon, as freeware. That script was
used, in part, to create an animation I uploaded last night, 7GAL37.ZIP
(described below).
The "sample" script CAM36.P3D (described below) shows how to copy keys. It
also shows how to create cameras (using "The Script Extension" commands )

KELLERMAN KEYSCRIPT 3DS PARTICLE SYSTEM EXAMPLE SAMPLE ANIPRO 1024×768 FLC
The 9 frames in this flic resemble oil paintings created in "hot"
red, orange and yellow layers w/a large painting knife. They were
created by (artistically!) merging, w/AniPro, 151 script-generated frames
(w/1000+ objects).
Even at 9-frames, this isn't one of the smaller files you've asked for.
Relief is coming. I plan to upload the script, a simple particle-system,
as freeware! (W/instructions for generating several animations.)
AND, the script, in intermediate and advanced versions, is designed as a
Keyscript learning-aid.

Title: Sample script for The Script Extension. By Ed Ke
Keys: PXP SCRIPT EXTENSION TSE EXAMPLE SAMPLE KELLERMAN
A script for The Script Extension (PXP module) for 3D Studio Release 4. TSE is
available from Schreiber Instruments.
This script creates a camera at the location of an object specified by the
user. The target for the camera is also an object selected by the user. The
position keys for the camera and its target are copied from the corresponding
objects.
