Maxwell Render | Official public forum

I am rendering path animations and the export process is long, so it would be useful to have the warning about rendering now or later supressed (and begin renderings the frames). I follow the pop-up's indication to go to scene manager > options > interaction > supress warnings > "yes".

The issue is that I still get the pop-up asking to render now or later after doing this. What am I doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong -- there are a few questions which are not automatically answered by the 'suppress warnings' preference, and this is one of them; the problem is that the 'info' is incorrect in this case. Do you feel that I should fix the erroneous 'info' message, or actually to defeat the dialog according to the preference? My gut feeling has been that exporting a whole series of animation frames is a significant enough action to warrant exclusion from the 'suppress warnings' rule.

It would be helpful for me to allow it to render the frames automatically, similar to hitting the render button and walking away for one image. There may be some instances in which this would not be helpful, but I can't think of any right now.

Possibly, if I knew how to utilize the command in which you can render the images later I would want to stop the renders. Can you help me with that? The info pop-up gives me the command-line that I would need to use, but I am not sure which command-line (rhino command line?).

One more thought on the frame rendering warning...usually, rendering is the last thing I do when I am at the computer. It also requires a significant wait time for me, so I sometimes hit render and leave my computer and go about something else.

Fair enough -- I suppose that if you have explictly told the plugin to suppress warnings, then we can apply that here too, so I'll change that. Regarding your second question, the command-line given in the box is what you would use in starting maxwell.exe from a batch file or a console window.
