Shortcut to start IR?

Hi all - I was just curious if there is a way to bind a key (or maybe create a shortcut button) to start the Interactive Renderer? My process is usually to hit F10, and because the window is already open I have to hit F10 again, and then search around for Start Interactive. Just wondering if there is a slicker way…

Thanks!

here i made this script long ago…been using this for a long time.

-just drag the script to your 3ds max window.. you can find the scripts in cui-category-ebbmaxscript
-you may add a shortcut,add to menu,quad, etc. I set mine to F9

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.

Almost feel like this should be a default behaviour with corona - I never want to start a production render without first checking a bunch of options.

This topic is from 2017.
Now we have the same button in the Corona Toolbar. :smiley:

Yep, toolbar is great, but for a button I need to press many, many times a day I prefer a hotkey. :wink:

Anyway, primarily wanted to thank oncire for the useful script, and a bump up to the top of the page can’t hurt if it may benefit others too.
