04/15/2024 3rd version of Project Manager gains a lot of new features to manage 3D Assets.

Batch Render for 3ds Max 9.0

I got this error when try to run Batch render in max 9, whereas last time I try the rc version (0.9.xx) it run smoothly. (avg_dlx90.dlx installed). Please fix it.

Network access to libraries
Yes it is possible.
Make network access for necessary folders (Models, textures ...)
Add these folders with network paths to the "Project Manager" (For example \\server\Maps and etc.)
After you add to Project Manager your folders, close the "Project Manager".
Go to the folder C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2010 - 64bit\enu\Scripts\TrackScripts\ProjectManager
Copy all files with extension ". Xml" to the same folder for other network users.
In the future I plan to make possibility to use the common database for network users.
P.S
Very convenient to use network drives.
Menu windows explorer Tools>> Map Network Drive.
Of course the network drive letter on each computer should be identical.
network
is it possible to run projectmanager on network and share the libraries for all co-workes? if yes, how to setup?
thanks in advance

Hi.
Check the permissions on the folders
C:\Users\Turhan.arun\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2010 - 64bit\enu\scripts
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max Design 2010
After reinstall Project Manager.
If the problem is not resolved, perform one of the following steps:
The 3ds Max 2010 has a problem with non-unicode languages
Possible solutions :
1. Move user settings to a folder 3ds Max (by default C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max Design 2010)
Close 3dsMax and change the next parameter in the file InstallSettings.ini
useUserProfiles=1
to
useUserProfiles=0
Then run 3ds Max, and in the menu Customize>> Configure System Paths change paths to your path to the installed program 3ds Max.
Copy all folders (but not files in the root folder enu) from C:\Users\Turhan.arun\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2010 - 64bit\enu to the folder 3ds Max (by default C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max Design 2010 )
2.Write the system user name Latin letters.
3.The easiest way: Go to another version of 3ds Max

If scene contains the less then 8 files the PM allow to work with all links.
For testing the specific modifiers you can create scene with 7 links to external files.

Thanks for interest.
