Hello everybody,
is there the possibility to start a Java Application from inside a MaxScript. (That stitches together render output images) . And would it be possible to import that ready stitched image back into Max?
Thank you alot

There is a DOSCommand and ShellLaunch commands that will help you with the java app and importing a known image is easy. You need to know where you want to put it and look up that command.

What about message passing between MAX Script and the external program? Looks like you'd have to have something like a mailbox file that max continuously reads.
