I am generating animations out of Solidworks on a PC.
I get huge numbers of MXS files which begin to render automatically on my laptop.
To make use of our MacPro's 8 processors and 10Gb Ram can I transfer the MXS file sequence to the Mac and start the rendering sequence so that it renders all the frames automatically?
I can get it to render one frame but then it stops....how to keep it going?

Open up Maxwell.exe, open the first mxs in the sequence, and in the Render Options tab>Frames field enter the frame sequence you want to render, if your mxs files are named yourscene0001.mxs, yourscene0002.mxs, enter 1-10 in that field and it will render 10 frames of the sequence.

Thanks Mihai

I knew there must be a way to do it.
Now that I'm getting quite clean images in 3-5 minutes, animation is getting a lot more interesting.

Exactly... I just started too... Simple, walkthroughs, even some simple moving objects... but it is great...
