With the release of the advantage pack for 3ds Max 2012 there have been significant enhancements to the exposure of 3ds Max C++ SDK to .NET. Previously only a small subset of the 3ds Max SDK was exposed to .NET. Now nearly all of the functionality from the C++ SDK can be accessed directly from .NET using the new Autodesk.Max.dll.

We will present using the C# language, but the techniques can apply to any .NET programming language including Visual Basic. We will also cover how-to interface with .NET Framework features and will include the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and a few other features such as the XML and LINQ facilities. If you are already a .NET programmer, or are just curious about the .NET environment this class will be good for you. Some programming experience will be assumed.
