Run a Pipeline

The following example will execute Simplygon on the current selection using a previously saved Pipeline.

-- load an asset
loadMaxFile "D:/Assets/SomeAsset.max"

-- select everything in scene
select $*

-- load previously saved pipeline
reductionPipeline = sgsdk_LoadPipeline "D:/Pipelines/reductionPipeline.json"

-- execute pipeline on selection,
-- returns result to Max once completed
sgsdk_RunPipelineOnSelection reductionPipeline

-- clear all pipelines that resides in memory
sgsdk_ClearPipelines()

from pymxs import runtime as rt

# load an asset
rt.loadMaxFile('D:/Assets/SomeAsset.max')

# select objects
rt.select(rt.objects)

# load previously saved pipeline
reductionPipeline = rt.sgsdk_LoadPipeline('D:/Pipelines/reductionPipeline.json')

# execute pipeline on selection,
# returns result to Max once completed
rt.sgsdk_RunPipelineOnSelection(reductionPipeline)

# clear all pipelines that resides in memory
rt.sgsdk_ClearPipelines()
