Basic question

Submitted by Nibbles on Thu, 2009-07-30 03:16

Hi everyone I am new to maxscript and was hoping you could help me out.

Could someone please outline a script that sets 3ds to render from frames 0-75 and then the command to render.

It seems like it should be basic but I can't seem to get it to work.

As a side note is it possible to script it so maxscript gets the co-ordinates of an object in my scene and then uses that as the filename for the animation.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the tip Anubis, although it doesn't seem to work for me.

When I use:

render rendStart=1 rendEnd=10 rendTimeType=3

I get the following error message "-- Type error: Call needs function or class, got: 10"

It seems to work when I use the following:

render rendStart =1; rendEnd =10; rendTimeType =3

I am using max6 if that makes any difference.

When setting options for

When setting options for function you need to use ":" instead of "=". Having the ; works because maxscript considers you are setting up variables.

Thanks for the help. When I put in the line below it changes the settings in the render scene dialog box but it still renders only a single frame.

What should I change?
