MaxScript (Discreet's 3D Studio Max embedded scripting language) has been a major part of my development work the past year or so and, as with many before me, I have struggled to find adequate tutorial resources for it. It is common knowledge that MaxScripting is similar to a ... "black art" in more ways than one, i.e. a sought after set of skills but with few people willing to learn it or indeed practice it.

These 3 instructional (Fundamendals 1&2 and The Matrix:Explained) DVDs cover a range of issues and are suitable for a range of MaxScript programmers, starting from the beginner to the very-experienced technical 3D artist.

On the site you will also be able to find other instructional DVDs too (for topics such as rigging, texturing etc.) but I will leave you to explore these for yourselves...
