Setting up the simplest rendering:
In its simplest form, just a render command using all the settings that are
stored with a scene, would look like this:
1 Open a command prompt window.
2 Enter the following: “c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax9\3dsmaxcmd”
“c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax9\scenes\myscene.max” and press
Enter.
Example: Rendering to a JPG file at 800x600 resolution:
Perhaps the last time you rendered your scene, you had the output resolution
set to 320x240 and rendered a BMP file. Re-rendering the scene using different
output settings is fast and efficient with command-line rendering.
1 Open a command prompt window.
2 Enter the following:
“c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax9\3dsmaxcmd”
-outputName:“c:\program
files\autodesk\3dsmax9\renderoutput\myImage.jpg” -w 800 -h 600
“c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax9\scenes\myscene.max”
and press Enter.
NOTE The specified output path must already exist. If it doesn't, the image
doesn't render and you get an error message.
Network rendering from the command line:
If you have your system networked and have access to other systems, you can
take advantage of network rendering.
NOTE A command-line job cannot be run on a system already running the
Backburner server.
1 Open a command prompt window.
2 Enter the following:
“c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax9\3dsmaxcmd” -submit “c:\program
files\autodesk\3dsmax9\scenes\myscene.max”
and press Enter.
