Hello!
I am looking for a solution for a specific scenario a client is asking for. I am not looking for specific commands for now, only looking for a general route to go and maybe, if not possible at all, think of something else.
Here is the scenario:
- Someone has a notebook with internet access, somewhere in the world. No 3ds Max license on it and the person operating does not know how to use 3ds Max.
- In a web interface he logs in his account, uploads an illustrator file and some settings like extrude by 5 and give it the blue material.
- This should be send to a server with a licensed 3ds max on it, which opens a starting scene with camera, lights etc., imports the illustrator file, extrudes it, gives it the blue material - and renders it with render settings from the web interface.
- When the rendering is finished, the image should be emailed automatically to the one who logged in previously.
- This should work for several users simultaneously.
The part within 3ds Max is not the problem, I have already written a MaxScript doing the import-extrude-material-render-stuff. It is all the parts around that I do not know how to tackle. Is this basically possible, and if yes, what main components (software and hardware) would I need for that? If I have to hire a programmer for a certain task, I will do so, I still would need to know, which programming language is needed etc.
Any ideas are welcome!
Thanks a lot,
Bob
