okay... somewhere it says something with cupping or so...
obj.modifiers[ "cupping" ].bendAxis = 0
something like this...
well MAX 3 doesn't know the .bendaxis command, it should be .axis so it should look like this in the script:

--
-- Add the first bend modifier
--
addModifier obj (Bend name:"cupping")
obj.modifiers[ "cupping" ].Axis = 0
obj.modifiers[ "cupping" ].Angle = 90

--
-- add the bend modifier
--
addModifier obj (Bend())
obj.modifiers[ #bend ].gizmo.pos += [ 0, -fLength/2., 0 ]
obj.modifiers[ #bend ].Axis = 1
obj.modifiers[ #bend ].direction = 90.

--
-- Add the material modifier
--

This should definitely solve your problems...

Okay i've modified the script and it works now with 3d studio max 3.xxx Its true that max3 doesn't like attaching to empty meshes (numverts:0 numfaces:0) so I just said to the script to create 5 vertices, and that fixed the problem....I've put it on my script page....

Tnx quizzy,

I'll give it a try. I guess I missed you on the boards, but I was in a meeting. Back behind my desk now, so maybe we'll meet in a while...

The scripts always stops at "update patchOfGrassObj"

Have you tried it in 3.1? What are your results?
