example, let's say you have three scenes, in various stages, and you want each
rendered using different settings.
1 Open your text editor.
2 On the first line, enter the following text. This example assumes that the
scene is far from finished, but that you want to test a chunk of animation.
“c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax9\3dsmaxcmd” -o=“c:\program
files\autodesk\3dsmax9\renderoutput\scene1.jpg” -w=320 -h=240
-frame=1-33 “c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax9\scenes\scene1.max”
The second scene is almost ready, but you need to test the look of some
materials and do a video color check:
“c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax9\3dsmaxcmd” -o=“c:\program
files\autodesk\3dsmax9\renderoutput\scene2.jpg” -w=640 -h=480
-force2Sided=true -videoColorCheck=true “c:\program
files\autodesk\3dsmax9\scenes\scene2.max”
The last scene is complete, and you want to render a higher-resolution
image using settings you've saved in a TXT file that you always use for
final renderings:
“c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax9\3dsmaxcmd” @c:\finalrender.txt
-o=“c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax9\renderoutput\scene3.jpg”
“c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax9\scenes\scene3.max”
3 After entering these three command lines, save your file as a BAT file.
4 From the Windows Start > Run dialog, browse to the BAT file and click
Open.
5 Click OK to start rendering.
Command-Line Rendering Switches
In order to use command-line rendering, you should be familiar with DOS
and understand the structure of command lines.
Command-Line Switches
You can use the following switches after 3dsmaxcmd on the command line
of a command prompt window, or as entries in a text file. The following tables
show switches and their effects.
