Merge render elements function?

[k.alexandrov]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to access merge of render elements in "Render Scene dialog" via maxscript.

So far, without any success.

I want to set the file for merge and launch the command from custom button and to see display the list of render element directly, without getMAXopenFileName ()  Dialog .

Can anybody can help me?

Best regards,

Kiril A.

If you want to get a list of the render elements of a file's scene without opening the file, then this is not possible with MXS (by the way, and with the SDK it is also almost impossible).

Hi, maybe I confused you with my explanation.

I need to access the merge function for render element and set the maxfile via msx.

Is it possible?

oh... got it... 

Unfortunately, the answer is the same. There is no easy way.
There is always a trick using UIAccessor and DialogMonitor. You can probably find a similar example on this forum or the CGTalk.

Hi,

I've already researched this method and stuck in the middle of nowhere with it. Did not managed to access Render Scene dialog. Never used it before and is a bit confusing for me.

I'll have to get more familiar with the UIAccessor then.

Anyway, thank you for defining the options for me!

Best regards,

Kiril
