Post-render to convert image files to AVI (programatic RAMviewer)

[Anonymous]

I sometime need to avoid using the manual process of RAMviewer to put together a series of different camera videos on the same scene, but have higher video quality not available if I specify the AVI format in 3dsmaxcmd.  My program will take the height/width of the first encountered image file and use that as the H/W of the AVI file, maintaining quality.

I am providing a free tool with examples in a binary release., and the java source on github.

A use example looks like:

for %%A in ( 
PreviewCamera002
PreviewCamera003
PreviewCamera004
PreviewCamera005
 ) do (
set camera=%%A
call:3dsmaxcmdFunc
)
goto:eof
:3dsmaxcmdFunc
echo Rendering Batch: %camera% 
3dsmaxcmd ^
    "%scene%" ^
    -outputName "%BASE% %camera% %SFX%" ^
    -camera %camera% -start %startFrame% -end %endFrame%  -nthFrame %nthFrame% -width %width% ^
    -height %height% -pixelAspect 1 -showRFW:0 -skipRenderedFrames:1 -sceneState "%sceneState%"  -continueOnError ^
    -preset "%preset%"
	
java -jar "C:/Program Files/Java/imageToVideo.jar"  -r "%BASE% %camera% ????%SFX%"  "%BASE% %camera%.avi"
goto:eof

You are most welcome.
