ah-hoy me hearties,

tis the maxscript pirate, prepare to be boarded! Great to see that there is great access to some of maxwells features through MXS, ie materials. although I can't seem to get to anything in the renderer.
The maxwell camera properties are a little different, they are there but there is no documentation and show gives us nothing, but... i can find most of the properties (for anyone that's interested):

$.fstop
5.6
$.shutterspeed
250.0
$.filmiso
100
$.userotaryshutter
false
$.focusdistance
50.0
$.diaphragmtype
1
$.diaphragmangle
0.0
$.diaphragmblades
6

What I want though (appart from MXS for renderer!) is the shift parameters, and I tried all sorts of combinations of shift, x, lens etc that I feel like I'm attempting to break the enigma code. If anyone can give me a headstart...

arrrrgh.

Take a look at the Scripts\maxwell_camprop.ms file in your Max folder. :)

The new shift lens parameters are available only on new cameras.
The names are $sl_xoffset and $sl_yoffset.
