Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hi,

With MR v.2, sometimes I would render and manage a queue of files using Network Render, even if it was all simply being rendered by the local machine. Now, with v3 network rendering only working with floating licenses, is there any way to manage a queue of render jobs on a single machine?

If it's for this single purpose, you could also install RLM on this computer and re-license it, as if this would be your main RLM computer. I think the licensing scheme allows for 2 activations (the idea is that you would also have a laptop when you're on the go and so don't have access to the main RLM computer in your office network).

OK, but wouldn't I need to have a floating license then? I don't see anything in the docs that talks about RLM working with node-locked licenses.

Oh sorry, I misread your message. In that case you have the option to use the "Batch Render" script provided with the install. In Maxwell.exe, go to Windows>Scripts and in the new window that pops up, click the folder icon and load the batch render script. I'm not sure though if it's been updated to work ok for the latest version. If you have problems with it please contact tech support.

This script looks in a folder for MXS files, and renders them one by one. The script also allows you to change the SL and resolution.
