Vray from command line - how to save image from FB?

[Igor]

Hello,

i am trying to execute batch of vray scenes (3dsmax 2015, Vray3+), and can not find any docs about how Vray can be accessed from command line.

Is there any doc how to access for example FrameBuffer in order to save images in desired format/name?
thanks!

If they are .max files, just run 3dsmaxcmd.exe from the command line without any arguments and it will print detailed usage info.

Best regards,

Hello Vlado,
thank you for your replay. The 3dsmaxcmd lists the generic max commands. We must save the VrayFrameBuffer image. 3dsmaxcmd.exe with *.EXR wildcard saves teh EXR from the standard max save filed. This is mostly black image. I want to batch 1000 max scenes from commandline where each scene should save VrayFB result with my predefined name. (we have 1000 3d product packages where we need to render 4 views in VRay and each view get a custom name as file etc - so it must be automatized).

To illustrate it:

d:\graphics\Autodesk\3ds Max 2015\3dsmaxcmd" -o="\\3d-io\projects\_maxscript\E1234_perspective.exr" -frames=0 "p:\_maxscript\E1234.max"

saves VRay image frames as Max OpenEXR, in standard max format. This image is mostly useless since we have VRayCamera and VraySettings which needs to be saged as Vray EXR DeepPixel, 32Bit etc.

How can we access this commands from teh 3dsmaxcmd?

Thanks a lot in advance for the help!
best regards
