Hey guys I have a nifty problem. Maybe there is a quick solution.
I have to render 135 apartment views. Small 10sec clips to show the floorplan with furniture as a turntable.
I use Octane for max.

Now I'm looking for a way to automate the rendering process a bit so I don't have to get up every hour and start the new rendering.

Something like: Load prepared .max file, render the frames, Load next .max file, render them, ....and so on...

Any way to do this? Maybe its an easy way but its first time i need to manage such an amount of scenes.

I don't know if it's possible with max plugin, but i believe might be with standalone version (launch a file> use .obj > render target > save image) But here You need to render turntable.. - just looked though arguments list ( C:\Octane\octane.exe --help ) - none to render turntable..

Maybe developers will sort something out as this function might be useful for some other users too.

I don't have the plugin, but haven't they made it backburner compatible already?

yes im looking for some 3dsmax stock features which can maybe do that?

If you don't know how to use backburner I can help you do that

Thanks, I figured it out.
Backburner for one machine is an option.
I went with this small solution: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scrip ... iple-files

Tested with two files and it worked very nice. I really could close my company without Scriptspot sometimes. So much great things out there.

that's so true hahaha... it has saved many lives... with BBurner or without it, moving on
