Hi there... I need your help, please.

I got a bunch a .max files which are ready to render.
Is there a way via script to render those files with a unique name for it`s tiff sequence?

Thank you in advance.

You could use Paul Neale's Batch It script - http://www.paulneale.com/scripts/batchItMax/batchItMax.htm

Then you just have to write a script that checks the Max filename and sets the render output accordantly. Cheers

Edit: Maybe something like this, dunno if you have cameras setup or something, but this should do it if you left the viewport you want to render active.

(
rfilename=MAxfilename
rfilename=getfilenamefile rfilename
rendTimeType 2 -- Just in case let's make sure Active Time Segment is selected
rendOutputFilename = @"C:\Renders\" + rfilename+ @"\" + rfilename + "_.tif"
max quick render
)

Just change the paths to whatever you want. Geez these fumefx sims really give me lot of free time :P Cheers!

Hi. Thank you for your support.
Your sample script runs just fine!


But Paul's script is doing nothing. I just evaluated and nothing happens.


I dont how to fix it!

PS: I am using max 2008.
