Waste of time

NicolasC · 2014-12-12

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.

Is it still developped ???

Could be very useful, but I'm now stuck on the error message talking about IE security settings .. but no matter what I do on these settings, no way to get the tool working :(
Please, Fred, do something ;)

Thanks !

but IE installed and all security settings is ok

Fred Moreau seems to know just how to create alert window and very proud of this D

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

jahrasta · 2011-07-09

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!

Realy great !

I waited something like this from long ago.

Thx Fred.

German word for Rendering

AdverSoftware · 2011-02-14

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!

One last thing to fix...
Drop me a mail, or use the form on the website. I'll send you the RC.
Thanks for your interest.

Thanks !
