Waste of time

Hello,

Fred Moreau is not answering anymore, website AdverSoftware offline ... I guess one shouldn't waste time anymore on this one ! a pity, but I think it's the best solution.

Thanks !

Same here at the

Same here at the office:(
I've really disappointed, since I tested it at home, and this tool does almost everything we need when it comes to use batch render ...
I'd rather make a donation and be free of that crap.

JPG rendering issue

Hey, thanks for this lifesaver of a script. I think there is great potential for this. Sooooo simple to setup multple render for different scene states, cameras, and etc. Simply awesome.

I am having a problem however. I am trying to render a .jpg sequence which works fine, but the .jpgs are not actually jpg's despite the file name and extension. They will not open in photoshop due to a jpg header issue. When I rename the extensions to .png everything works fine. So they are jpg's by name, but exist truly as .pngs Any help would be great!

German word for Rendering

I'm finished with all the bug tracking. Now if someone can give me the name of the Rendering Menu in the German version of 3dsmax, I'll post Version 1.01 right away!
if you can try the following in MaxScript listener :
menuMan.findMenu "&Rendering"
(replace Rendering with the German word but keep the "&" sign)
It should return MixinInterface:menu

Dank!
