Tutorial: Using the SphereArray script
Here’s a chance for you to play around a little and get some experience with MAXScript in the process. In
the Chap 49 directory of the DVD is a simple script called SphereArray.ms. It’s similar to the Array com-
mand found in the Tools menu, except that SphereArray creates copies of an object and randomly positions
them in a spherical pattern.
To load and use the SphereArray script, follow these steps:
1. Select Create ➪ Standard Primitives ➪ Box, and drag in the Top viewport to create a Box object
that has a Length of 10 and Width and Height values of 1.0.
