Animation Via Command Line - Cinemaxwell
by Boris Ulzibat

I havo found a simple, yet powerful workaround!

It is the command line!

All you have to do is export your animation as frames and run mxcl with correct options!

For example, I have an animated scene called "dandelion" wich has 21 frames. When you export your scene from C4D you get files named dandelion00000.mxs - dandelion00020.mxs each file has an output path set to default.tga. This is no good!
So, all you need to do run a command (For MacOS, similar stuff with different paths for Windows):
"/Applications/Maxwell/maxwell.app/Contents/MacOS/mxcl -d -mxs:/Volumes/work/PROJECTS/dandelion/dandelion0.mxs -a:1-21 -o:/Volumes/work/PROJECTS/dandelion/dandelion.jpg"

These are the necessary options, but you can override time, min sl, rez settings using respective options described in Manual.

Also, note the "0" in the path to .mxs file!
This is a bug i guess, you MUST type that extra "0", because Cinemaxwell exports scenes with 5 digit numbers, and MXCL expects to get 4 digit ones.
In other paths you don't need any numbers - they are generated by MXCL automatically.

That's a result of my test:

Most of the links in this thread no longer exist. Tyrone, is it possible to restore them? Or have they been moved?

This is being re-organized.
