Fixes: Adding support for new 3dsmax and its plugins versions.
What was the problem/requirement? (What/Why)
There was no reusable guide or skill for creating 3ds Max host configuration scripts for Deadline Cloud. Each new version or plugin combination required manually figuring out the correct install commands, environment variables, and script structure from scratch.
What was the solution? (How)
Added a
skills/3dsmax-host-config/skill that documents the complete workflow for creating 3ds Max host configuration scripts — from picking the right template, naming conventions, install structure, plugin-specific environment variables (V-Ray, Corona, tyFlow, Forest Pack, RailClone), to writing the README. The skill also directs Kiro to fall back to a generic installer skill for unknown plugins.Updated
host_configuration_scripts/3dsmax/README.mdto point customers to Kiro as a way to generate scripts for versions and plugin combinations not already covered by the samples.What is the impact of this change?
Customers can now open this repo in Kiro and ask for a host config script for any 3ds Max version or plugin combination. Kiro will follow the skill's workflow and generate a correctly structured
.ps1andREADME.mdwithout the customer needing any scripting knowledge.How was this change tested?
Used the skill end-to-end in Kiro chat:
3dsmax-2024.ps1) as a template and generated:host_configuration_scripts/3dsmax/3dsmax-2027/3dsmax-2027.ps1host_configuration_scripts/3dsmax/3dsmax-2027/README.mdTODOvariables, andExit 0Was this change documented?
Yes —
