基于MAXScript的立体构成插件研究及实现

The Research and Application of Teaching of Three-Dimensional Constitutes Plugin Based on MAXScript

立体构成课程是艺术设计学科基础课程三大构成之一。基于该课程教学常面临取材难、加工难、学生三维意识薄弱等问题,采用主流三维软件3ds Max和其自带的脚本语言MAXScript对立体构成教学手段加以改进。通过分析并选取立体构成作品常用的构成要素,运用MAXScript脚本语言设计出一款能够生成多种类型数字化立体构成造型的插件。利用MAXScript的批处理能力以及界面编辑功能使立体构成教学更便捷、直观。本插件已应用于福州软件职业技术学院数字媒体设计系以及福建第二轻工业学校的立体构成课程教学中,受到师生们的普遍好评。采用MAXScript辅助立体构成教学,为立体构成教学的数字化提供一种行之有效的新方法。

Three-dimensional constitution is one of the most important fundamental courses of art design subjects. Currently, the course face the difficulties of getting and processing materials and the students＇ poor sense of space and so on. In order to improve three-dimensional construction teaching, this paper tries to use 3ds Max and its built-in scripting language MAXScript to design a three-dimensional construction plugin. First of all, analysing the constitutes elements and selecting the commonly-used three-dimensional constitution models. Secondly, using MAXScript to make the beautiful three-dimensional models in 3ds Max. And then using MAXScript language and visual MAXScript Editor to design a plugin which can make a lot of virtual three-demensional models. MAXScript is good at batch processing and interface edit. This plugin is applied in art design class in Fuzhou Software Technology Vocational College and Fujian Second Light Industry School. In practice, the teachers and students benefit from the plugin. Using MAXScript to write a plugin for aidding the teaching of three-dimensional constitution can make the teaching more convenient and visual. And it also offers a viable method for the teaching of digital three-dimensional constitution.
