Conversation
|
Looks like this need a rebase |
Adds two HC scripts that install Pencil+ 4 (PSOFT) alongside 3ds Max. Pencil+ renders watermark-free under 3dsmaxcmd.exe (NTR mode) without license server configuration. Scripts include Inno Setup silent-install flags, post-install verification, and S3 download error handling. Signed-off-by: Zain Ali <55154081+ZainAallii@users.noreply.github.com>

This change prepends a UTF-8 BOM (U+FEFF) to the start of README.md. The only diff on this line is the invisible BOM before #, so the file previously had no BOM. A leading BOM in a Markdown file is unintended noise: some tooling (and some Markdown renderers) treat the BOM as part of the heading text, and it can break tooling that expects the file to start with a literal #. Recommend re-saving README.md as UTF-8 without BOM so this line is byte-identical to before. (A BOM on the new .ps1 files is fine and even helpful for PowerShell encoding detection — this note is only about the Markdown file.)

The new 3dsmax-2027-and-pencilplus-4.ps1 renders in server mode via 3dsmaxcmd.exe/3dsmaxbatch.exe, so it is subject to the documented "Autodesk ADP Failed to start" issue just like the other 2027 scripts. Its script header correctly links to that section, but the ADP section itself (line 76) enumerates the affected scripts — 3dsmax-2027, 3dsmax-2027-and-vray, 3dsmax-2027-and-corona-14, 3dsmax-2027-and-vray-and-tyflow, 3dsmax-2027-vray-and-aec-plugins — and this new script is missing from that list. Consider adding 3dsmax-2027-and-pencilplus-4 there so the "applies to" enumeration stays complete.
Adds two HC scripts that install Pencil+ 4 (PSOFT) alongside 3ds Max 2025/2027 on Windows Service-Managed Fleets.
Pencil+ renders watermark-free under 3dsmaxcmd.exe (NTR mode) without license server configuration. The scripts follow the same pattern as the existing V-Ray/Corona/tyFlow samples.
