IMSQ Files
The Autodesk ME Image Sequence (IMSQ) format is an XML file used by the
Autodesk products Cleaner and Toxik. You generate IMSQ files in the Render
Output group of the Render Scene Dialog's
Common Parameters rollout on
page 5929 by turning on Put Image File List(s) In Output Path(s) and then
clicking Create Now. The IMSQ file stores information about the rendering,
including:
■ The name of the rendering file
■ The format of the rendering file
■ The range of frames
(Nonsequential frame sequences, such as 1, 7, 12–19, are not supported.)
■ The frame rate
■ The pixel aspect ratio
■ The output type, aperture width, and resolution (width x height)
■ The render element type and name
■ The camera name (when rendering a Camera view)
3ds Max generates a separate IMSQ file for each render element.
