Backburner Command Line
Control
The Backburner command line plug-in allows
you to submit batch, executable, or script files to
backburner as “custom” jobs. This
cmdjob.exe
tool, found in the Backburner program folder,
provides more flexibility in running custom jobs
than is offered by the 3ds Max
3dsmaxcmd.exe
plug-in.
For a list of the command-line switches that
yo u can use with the Backburner command line
plug-in, see R
endering Jobs from a Command Line
or Script. Some examples of how these commands
can be used with 3ds Maxare listed below.
Note: In order to use command-line rendering,
you should be familiar with DOS and understand
the structure of command lines.
Examples of a CmdJob Usage
Please see the online version of the User Reference
for details.
