Add VrayDirt map to VRayExtraTex Render Element via maxscript?

[braddewald]

I'm having trouble figuring out how to add a map to the VRayExtraTex Render Element via MaxScript. Any suggestions?

some extra steps in there, but I commented out what each line does for you Hope this helps.

 

(
   r = maxOps.GetCurRenderElementMgr()
   -- get current render element
   r.AddRenderElement (VRayExtraTex elementname:"VRayDirt")
   -- add vray extra text and name it VRayDirt
   elementCount = r.NumRenderElements()
   -- count how many render elements there are
   k = r.GetRenderElement (elementCount-1)
   -- set k as the last element created (VRayExtraTex)
   k.texture = VRayDirt() 
   -- add VRayDirt to texture
)

After adding the texture, you can probably set a specific setting for it, but that was not part of the question, but it should be script-able.
