Now, we'll come to a topic that really gives us wings. There are sometimes situations when we think "come on, doesn't this work in Max? It should!" and often, scripting is there to help us. For example, can you remember when we talked about attributes; I mentioned that some attributes can't be changed dynamically. Now, let's change them all!
