Running Simplygon from Max

To run Simplygon through 3DS Max, type the lines below into a new Max Script (assuming the settings path is valid). Execute the script from the Tools-menu or by pressing CTRL + E. The optimized result will be returned to 3DS Max as soon as the processing has completed. For a more detailed description, see the documentation for general script functions and pipelines.
