Hi
The question is very simple:
How do I understand the material applied to an object?
I have a box with any type material (standard, Mentalray etc.) in viewport. Now I want analyze the box and find what type of material is applied. How to do this?
I have not found anything on MaxScript help...
Thanks in advance

If the result is Undefined, maybe the object has not material or is unselected.

Yes Anubis:
With $Box01.material I have type of material and number of slot :)
With ClassOf $Box01.material only type of material.
A big Thanks Anubis!!
P.S. Before writing this post for help, I tried "$.material" but the result is "Undefined"...Why???

Is this - "$Box01.material" or maybe this - "ClassOf $Box01.material" ?
