Extract jpg from Max Thumbnail

By kernberg · 2016-02-05

Description

Hey all you good People!

We're working on a huge pile of assets at the moment, and it's super annoying to always do screenshots by hand for the database. I know theres this MaxThumbnailShellExt.dll in the maxrootfolder to use the max thumbnail as Icon. What would be even better, if there's a way to extract the Max Thumbnail as a jpg, which we can put in the database. Any Idea how to achieve this?

Thank you so much!

Hi,
thanks for your answers. The batch preview render looks good, but is a bit too random in what it does :D

For Hitchhiker I'm missing a proper userguide, I seem to be to stupid to use it, I always get error messages when I try to run the mentioned rollout. I also dont know where to put the dll. -.-
