Hehe... better not expect anything cool from me but tests...

I tried out your - let's say - workaround and it works great... thx again for that. Great effort, really.
Now, with your workaround, it's so lovely to see animations right out if cinema... as if the renderer was just a part of our main software...

Camera parameters are being rendered... for e.g. dof:

Sunrise and dawn:

Now the sunanim is made with the help of Rendertaxi's expression to sync the sky-settings of maxwell with the c4d-sky-settings.
Thx to Rendertaxi for the sync and to Tyrone for adding GMT 'fixture' to the expression.
Rendertaxi had made it for R10, but Tyrone posted scrshots of it, so I could build it for my R9.6...

... and here another problem takes place...:

I make the 1st frame a keyframe at 07 am and the last frame is also a keyframe at 6 pm. 248 frames in between are interpolated and the sun rises and goes down in 10 seconds... AND all this is synchronized in the maxwell-settings and the renderer renders it. GREAT!
This is in R10 Demo.
In R9.6 this DOES NOT WORK. The interpolation between the two keyframes gets lost. Not for c4d but for the synchronisation in maxwell render settings. But when I click on any object and then again click back on the maxwell render settings object the sync works. Very strange.
So, the sun-anim you see above is made with 9.6 but exported to mxs in R10 Demo!!

If someone would try to verify this... using R9.6 and R10, it would be great. I wonder, if the problem is in R9.6 or in the cinemaxwell-plug.
I mean... in R10 - as I said - it works without any problems. In R9.6 I would have to make every one of these 250 frames a keyframe to get maxwell render settings synced.

I hope, my elite english skills have not generated too much confusion... if they did... tell me, I'll try to explain my problem again...

Thx in advance.
Mesut.

Another, much more simple way of automating the animation render!
Thanks to Mike Verta's videos, i learned that MXCL can be set up to render animations without using command line!
The same thing goes here.
Run MXCL -d, open one of the animation's MXS files, and in the bottom right corner of the "render options" tab there will be "Animation" input field, where you need no input your frame range!
It is strange how i didn't notice it before

And what's good too - you won't have to bother about that "extra 0", just type the frame numbers directly - it works just fine!

Good job guys ..however i'm still wondering when we will get the ability to generate only one single MXS file containing all animation data and then just hit render in our 3d program and Maxwell renders out our animation to frames. When ?

it works with the command line! Thank you!
