Current Version: 2.0.9
Release Date: 4 January 2013
Bugfix:
- Corrupted other script's custom attributes stored in a scene.
Release Date: 14 January 2012
Improvements:
- Preview button added- it renders only current frame without saving anything - no images, no vray maps,no elements. Note that if output file is specified in standard Render Setup script saves rendered image in preview mode.
Bugfixes
- Frame Range Type "Frames" didn't recognized - fixed
- Resolution changing in certain conditions caused error message - fixed
- Netrender with Command-Line-Commit didn't worked well - fixed
- Some of the Clear buttons didn't work as expected - fixed
Release Date: 21 November 2011
Bugfixes:
- startup error in 3ds max versions <2012
- render preset not found error fixed
- animation ranges detection now works as expected and camera target's animation is also considered
- clear settings in resolution and frame ranges
Improvements:
- Render method from the version 1.9.x (fewer problems with gamma expected but not confirmed)
- Vray section from the version 1.9.x
- Orthographic camera mode in Vray section - turns Physical camera into orho mode (and any other cameras)
- Nth Frame property can be set for each preset independently (useful for Vray Irmap calculation)
- Render Preset property is now saved not as just a name of preset but as a full file path to ensure scene consistency across the network, different projects and 3ds max versions.
- Render Element property is available, but only in 1.9.x render method. Render commit method can be choosed in Options rollout.
Small fixes:
- Frame ranges are now remembered as you choose different range types.
- Checked state of the render preset is also saving, so you don't have to recheck the presets when you're making many test renders.
Installation:
Run this script with Maxscript -> Run Script command from any folder on your hard drive, then go to the *'Customize User Interface' -> 'Toolbars'*, browse to category 'Sergo Pogosyan' and add 'Render scene cameras...' button to the toolbar or to the menu.

One more thing I found.
2.0.6 adds 0000 to the output file name regardless if I selected frame range or not.
Just makes names longer when there is no need.

Renderpresets
You wrote: "I encountered the same error recently and have a thought to store renderpresets as full file name instead of just a preset name.
But how this would assure that other user has access to this preset? By saving renderpreset to shared folder?"
Yes, by shared folders. If we can share the 3dsmax file we can share the presets. Our normal work-flow are shared project-folders on a server mapped to equal drive letters (example "P:" for projects) on everyones workstation (the drives are forced to everyone by active directory policies).
So sharing is easy, and another VERY important plus is that a filename would be unique and explicit without any misunderstands in everyones 3dsmax. Could you please implement this as soon as possible?
The issue with the error is
The issue with the error is gone now.
After system restart everything is fine now.
Thx
