Max script / api integration

Vantage Requests
1

Could we please have some control over Vantage from MaxScript?

Specifically i very often need to re-render animations.

Can be multiple shots from many files. That is a lot of babysitting and often some trial and error duo to vantage not picking right output path, not picking right camera, not picking up settings.

If it was possible to communicate to vantage via maxscript while, i would make a script to initiate the live link, load config, pick camera, frame-range, resolution, output path, load timeout etc.

The goal here is a one-click script that always produces consistent output. I would even make it recurse over multiple files and create a little ‘batch-render’.

My main goal here is animation batch-rendering from live-link.

I would suggest, creating a custom pymxs writer inside 3ds max for chaos vantage, that writes config files and cli commands for vantage, that are read using Vantage Console.exe which is CLI.
