maxscript does not run when rendering a sequence of frames

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have a maxscript that changes a textarea depending on the radius of a dummy object (cylinder).

q=($dimMNcontrol.radius*25.4)
r=formattedPrint q format:".2f mm"
$dimMN.text=r

This works fine in the viewport and renders ok on my computer but when I send the job for network rendering in Backburner, the code no longer runs. Strangely, it will actually render single frames ok but not the active segment or any frame sequence.

I suppose that I could render the entire animation on my computer but I'd rather determine what the problem is before a last resort.

Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

Hello, just as a follow-up to my original post - I tried to render a sequence of a few frames on just my computer and it does not render what is in the viewport either. The only rendering that works is a single frame at a time. This proves to be quite a problem with hundreds of frames to render. Is there any way to convert the dynamic text that is changed by the maxscript to editable mesh?

Thanks,
Jason
