Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting Started This section provides several tutorials to help you learn Max Creation Graph. The first three tutorials walk you through creating basic components in MCG: Creating a tool, a component such as a geometry primitive or modifier you can use in 3ds Max. Creating a compound, a graph that can be packaged and used as a single node in other graphs. In this way you can modularize functionality, and "hide" complexity in graphs. Creating a package, a tool or compound packaged in a way that it can be distributed to other 3ds Max users. Additional tutorials then go into more detail about specific types of MCG graphs, such as modifiers and geometry. Creating a Tool This topic walks through using Max Creation Graph (MCG) to design a simple tool - a component such as a modifier or controller that can be used in your 3ds Max scene. In this case, we will create a graph that produces geometry, an icosahedron. 1. Open the Max Creation Graph Editor (Scripting > New Max Creation Graph). The Max Creation Graph editor consists of a menu bar and five windows: The main graph window, the Operator Depot, the View Navigator, the Node Properties, and the Message Log. 2. In the Operator Depot, expand Geometry > Mesh > Primitives to view Icosahedron Mesh Primitive. Drag this node into the graph editor window.
