-- Batch Render Assistant
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Motif
-- The max built-in tool Batch Render can only be operated in a single-selected way which in not very convenient.
-- So I create this tool to help you manipulate Batch Render in a multi-selected way.
-- Their interfaces are nearly the same.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Usage
-- 1.Add new views of which count is based on the spinner value to the right of the Add button.
-- 2.Hold down Shift or drag from the empty bottom space to multi-select items on the list.
-- 3.Change the parameters of each selected Batch Render View at one time.
-- 4.Change name by clicking and staying on the item you want then enter a new name.
-- 5.Delete all Views at one time.
-- Delete selected Views; delete invert selection of selected Views.
--
-- 6.Save data to .brd file; open .brd file then create batch render view based on the data.
--
-- 7.Double clicking left mouse button on the left part of the dialog can quickly widen the dialog and columns.
-- Double clicking left mouse button on the right part of the dialog can quickly shorten the dialog and columns.
-- 8.Holding down right mouse button and then moving mouse within the dialog area can quickly change the width of columns.
-- 9.Holding down left mouse button and then moving mouse within the dialog area can drag the dialog as you drag it in the title area.
--
-- 10.Change language between Chinese and English.(The file BatchRenderAssistant_EN_CN.ms)

I'm asking because I've used it on several projects, and didn't notice any problem so far.

@leverkusen, fjordside: Can you tell me precisely what is the problem with batch rendering in max 2010?
Thank you

First of all - thankyou very

First of all - thankyou very much for this great script - as leverkusen says it fixes a bug in the 3dsmax 2010 batchrendering (i have reported this to autodesk, but have had no feed back).

I've added the batchrenderoption to the script - please accept this change as it is and use it at your own risk.

Thanks.

Great script, very

Great script, very usefull.

Some functions would be really useful:

It will be fine to add special keyword in the path, which are replaced with the corresponding value (like %cameraname%, %scenename%, %AWordThatIwanttoAddForEveryRender% ...)

You can see this function in "Batch Camera Render" script but it will be fine in your script using with batchrender.

Best regerds,

Léon

Great script! (Especially

Great script!
(Especially since the nativ batch rendering has a bug in 3ds Max 2010.)
But unfortunatly Batch Render assistant has no Net Rendering option.
Is there a way to fix this?

That's a bad news! You can

That's a bad news!
You can disgard this function just by setting this part to a description so that you can use it but you can't operate the on or off of the batch render view.

I've tested ,The script

I've tested ,The script still can not run under max 2008,
Warning dialog box "No "map" function for undefined"

I don't know whether max

I don't know whether max 2008 can run it or not.

For all I know, you can't set a batch render view to on or off through MAXScript and so you can't run this plug-in in max 9. But if max 2008 fixed this problem then you can use it in max 2008.Well, you could try it in max 2008.

I'll wait your reply. Thank you!

I used the new method called

I used the new method called renderPresetMRUList which is new in max 2009. But now I replace this new function using another simply method so maybe it works in max 2008.
