About this Walkthrough
This walkthrough guides you through the process of executing a MAXScript file with 3dsmaxbatch.exe using the Design Automation API. This walkthrough does not teach you how to write a script for 3ds Max (MAXScript or python) or how to use the 3dsmaxbatch.exe interface. We assume that you already know how to write scripts for 3ds Max. If this is not the case, we recommend the following articles:
The techniques used in this walkthrough are generic. Hence, you can use your own MAXScript and 3ds Max files for this walkthrough. However, if you do not wish to use your own script and/or 3ds Max file, you can use the samples from here.
The walkthroughs on the APS developer portal are based on cURL. However, if you prefer using Postman over cURL, you can follow a Postman version of this walkthrough.
Postman walkthrough
Postman is a popular tool that provides an easy-to-use interface to send HTTP requests. The Postman walkthrough comes with a collection of pre-populated HTTP requests that you can modify. This gives you the ability to experiment without having to write a single line of code.
On the Postman Collection, requests are grouped by task. The group has the same name as the corresponding task in the cURL walkthrough on the APS developer portal.

Similarly, requests are named such that they have the same names as the corresponding step in the cURL walkthrough on the APS developer portal.
