Vray Scripting Question

[smokin]

Im making a script here and trying to interact with Vray's setting via a script VS flipping through tabs. Ive hit a wall in one area here when I try to modifiy the filter type in max. According to the Vray Maxscript cocumentation, the filter type is in the classof Maxobject (not entirely sure if thats important)

renderers.current = V_Ray_DEMO_1_50_SP2()
vr=renderers.current

when I type in "vr.filter_kernel" that points to the A.A. filter currently active in Vray and returns something like Area:(null) , or Mitchell-Netravali:(null) depending on the active filter. I tried to modify the filter used via script without sucess. I tried:

vr.filter_kernel = Mitchell-Netravali:(null)
vr.filter_kernel = Mitchell-Netravali
vr.filter_kernel = (Mitchell-Netravali:(null))
vr.filter_kernel = Mitchell-Netravali[1]
etc etc etc and I keep getting the same error message "

-- Unable to convert: Area to type: MaxObject
Im starting to wonder if this is a "read only" type thing. Any help would be apreciated. How can I change the filter_kernel via script, OR how can I figure out if what Im looking at might be read only or not?

Well, I tried this, and worked, take a look:

s = vr.filter_kernel
Catmull-Rom:(null)
d = vr.filter_kernel
Area:(null)
vr.filter_kernel = s
Catmull-Rom:(null)

It's clearly not related to a "read-only" issue so:

showClass ":filter"
VRayLanczosFilter : filter {71605479,6adf0691}
Area : filter {77912301,0}
Quadratic : filter {77912304,0}
cubic : filter {77912305,0}
Catmull_Rom : filter {77912306,0}
Blackman : filter {77912313,0}
Sharp_Quadratic : filter {77912314,0}
Video : filter {77912319,0}
Plate_Match_MAX_R2 : filter {7791231b,0}
Cook_Variable : filter {77912330,0}
Soften : filter {77912331,0}
Mitchell_Netravali : filter {77912350,0}
Blendfilter : filter {77912352,0}
VRaySincFilter : filter {78eb498e,406e1fa0}
Filter_kernel_plug_in_not_found : filter {ffffffff,0}
OK

and:

Constructors and Properties

Area()
Blackman()
Catmull_Rom()
Cook_Variable()
Cubic()
Mitchell_Netravali ...
Plate_Match_MAX_R2: (3ds Max only)
Plate_Match_MAX_R2()
Plate_Match_VIZ_R2: (Autodesk VIZ only)
Plate_Match_VIZ_R2()
Quadratic()
Sharp_Quadratic()
Soften()
Video()

vr.filter_kernel= Area()
Area:(null)

Kind of syntaxis problem... , I hope it helps...

Good luck!
