Default How to save an image sequence with Maxwell in 3DS Max

Hi there,

I need to render 6 frames in order to create a cubic Quicktime VR movie, and I need 3DS Max to save them as .jpg files.

However, when I use Maxwell, all the frames are overwritten! I mean, in all 6 rendered frames, max sends the same image name to Maxwell, and I get 6 identic names in the "image" feld, in the render output settings...

what do I need to do in order to have all six frames saved as jpg files, and not only the last one?

Thx in advance

Can't you send each of the six images separately giving them different names? It seems simple to me but I might be misunderstanding your questions.

That might be a question for the official Maxwell forum. Maybe there is a command line switch for incremental file names?

Thank you for the answers.

As for sending the images to the render engine separately, this is not possible; they have to be sent in sequence, due to the enormous time they take to render...

Gosh, I never imagined that to do simple things in Maxwell such as setting up the light intensity and image sequence rendering would be so complicated...
