Download Script

Version:
1.6

Release Date:
06 Sectember 2009

New Features and Improvements:

• auto submit netrender jobs added - net render jobs can be submitted automatically, skipping max's submission dialog for every job.

• new rollout-izated layout

• some ui elements' state saving during max session:

  • rollout state

  • main frame size

  • 'Net Render', 'Show Dialog', 'Save File', 'Save Vray Image' checkboxes

  • list item checked state

• vray image file extension chooser added

• added checking if render type is set to view - if render type to region, blowup or something except view mode warning dialog box appears.

Bug Fixes:

• forced on lights didn't work correctly - seems like fixed, needs more testing.

• fixed numerical scene state names

• stops render if some of the light not found in scene - fixed

• open folder command fixed - caused max hanging in certain situations

• better button enable/disable state handling when list items selected/checked

Special Notes:

• Port parameter in Net Render Options rollout doesn't work in this version.

• Default Subnet Mask and Manager Name are hardcoded so if you need different settings you can edit maxscript - line 1596 and 1601

Major Todo Features:

• Render Elements rollout with relative path options.

• Option to specify script which will be run after last camera render - for example, may be used to shutdown render server(s).

• Image File name template system (Tim Sparks's advice) - special syntax to include camera name, scene state name, date, resolution and so on.

As always, bug reports and suggestions are welcome.
