I have been searching (locally and online) for the MW manual, but all I can find is the V3 online manual. where can I find the V2 manual?

I need to know urgently how I can render a bunch of mxs files (coming from an animation). I found a batch render script but don't know how it works.
thanks

Are you rendering on a single computer? You can still use the network wizard. Run manager, node, monitor, and add a new animation job from the monitor.

it is on a single computer indeed. I opened manager, node and monitor (for the very first time) but when I click the plus icon, I get a window where I have to enter all kinds of settings, which are already set in the mxs files... I am vagely remembering something about indicating a bunch of files from the maxwell render app, and it did it one by one, just like when rendering animation files from within a plugin.

Choose your MXS file (the beginning of the sequence) and load it. It should bring in all of the settings from the MXS.

V2 docs are still there, try the dropdown menu in the Maxwell Render top menu.

Mihai,

I am sorry but both in maxwell render and studio, when I click the help menu I arrive at the maxwell render support centre, and there I can click the documentation button, which leads me to the V3 documentation.
I know, I won't need V2 soon, but I am still on OS10.6 and cannot install my V3 version yet, I need to backup first and do a mavericks clean install, but it is the year's end and thus too much things to do before 2014 starts.

but wasn't there a V2 pdf version? I thought I had it but searched all my HD's and couldn't find one. if so, where can I D/L?

tnx
wim

Do you see the two menus at the very top, Maxwell Render, RealFlow?
