batch render?

I'm working on a massing model (no materials, sun only), so the renders even on my machine don't take more than 10 mins. I would like to be able to set up maybe 20 views at the close of the workday and send all off to Maxwell to generate those renderings without having to constantly come back every 10 mins to load a new one.
What is the best way to do that with the plugin for Rhino?

Let me know how this works for you...
1. set up your scene
2. open the plugin's Animation toolbar
3. click 'Begin Animation'
4. set the view up, click 'Render'
5. repeat step 4 for all desired views
6. click 'End Animation'
The plugin should now start MXCL, which will render all of your views in animation mode.

I'm gonna try this too. Been using the network rendering (on a single computer) and adding jobs to the queue, but this sounds simpler.

Thanks for the tip JD! I didn't know that... and it's working great! Testing as we "speak"...
