MAXScript
From Tech Artists Wiki
MAXScript, MXS for short, is the scripting language of 3ds Max.
It was added to 3ds Max R2 in 1997 after Kinetix/Autodesk licensed the 3rd party plug-in developed by John Wainwright / Lyric Media. John was hired as 3ds Max developer and worked on the product until the release of 3ds Max 4 in 2001. Starting with 3ds Max 5, Larry Minton took over the development of the language.
Its documentation is available in the 3dsmax MAXScript help file. Many tutorials can be found there and on this Wiki.
