_SimpleCMD_ParametersMaxwell

maxwell path

Tooltip - explicit path to Maxwell v2 executable. browse or enter manually the location of Maxwell.exe on the workers.

Enable coOp Renders

Tooltip - Perform a cooperative render. Make sure you set the "Instances" parameter to more than 1, in the "Qube Job Basics" section above. Setting this to co-op will create a secondary MXIMerge job that combines the finished MXI's upon completion

Coop Total SL

Tooltip - (Cooperative Rendering only) - Final quality level for the coop render, when the MXIs are all merged. Set to 0 for all instances to respect the value set in the "Sampling Level" box below'. If Co-op rendering is selected you can choose the Sampling level for the final render.

Sampling Level

Tooltip - Quality level for the render, overrides Sampling value saved in MXS. Provide a numeric value for the Sampling override.

Render Time Limit

Tooltip - Time (in minutes) that the renderer is allowed to run (per-frame), overrides Time value saved in MXS. Provide a numeric value for time in minutes that the render is allowed to run.

Resume Rendering

Tooltip - automatically resume the render if the MXI file exists. Tick box to resume render when previous MXI files exist

MXS scene file

Tooltip - MXS scene to render.

Browse or enter manually the location of the scene file to be rendered. This is a required field for submission

Important: Best practise is to ensure the scene file and all of its dependant files such as textures are on network storage accessible by the workers.

outputImage

Tooltip - full path and name of the image file.

Browse or manually enter the location of the output image file you wish to generate

Important: Best practise is to ensure outputs are written to network storage accessible by the workers.

MXI output file

Tooltip - MXI output file containing information about the rendering process.  It allows for resuming previously rendered image.  If not specified, the MSI will use the same name and path as the MXS scene.

Browse or manually enter the location of the output MXI file you wish to generate

Important: Best practise is to ensure outputs are written to network storage accessible by the workers.

script

Tooltip - Load and run a given script.

Browse or manually enter the required scripts

Important: Best Practise is to ensure scripts are on network storage accessible by the workers

prescript

Tooltip - Load and run a given script.

Browse or manually enter the required prescripts

Important: Best Practise is to ensure scripts are on network storage accessible by the workers

postscript

Tooltip - Load and run a given script.

Browse or manually enter the required postscripts

Important: Best Practise is to ensure scripts are on network storage accessible by the workers

bitmaps

Tooltip - Set an alternative folder path for the bitmaps location. If "0", then will discard all the bitmaps.

Browse or manually enter the location of the bitmaps file you wish to generate

Important: Best practise is to ensure bitmaps are written to network storage accessible by the workers

overridemat

Tooltip - Override all materials in the scen using the material indicated in the path.

Browse or manually enter the location of the textures you wish to replace

Important: Best practise is to ensure textures are written to network storage accessible by the workers

curdir

Tooltip - Set the current directory of the OS.  This could be useful for using relative paths for textures and other dependencies. Browse or manually enter the location of the current directory

dependencies

Tooltip - Set an alternative folder path for the dependencies location. Browse or manually enter the location of the required dependencies.

resume

Tooltip - Continue a render from a previously saved MXI file. To resume a previously rendered images and update the MXI file, this flag must be added. Browse or manually enter the location of the MXI file to be resumed

renameoutput

Tooltip - When this flag is used, Maxwell Render does not write the MXI file directly in the given output path; it write a temporary file and when the writing process finishes it renames it to the final path. Tick box to rename MXI file upon completion.

res

Tooltip - resolution override (WxH) Used for overriding the scenes resolution. IE: 800x600

region

Tooltip - type,x1,y1,x2,y2 : Specify if you want to render the full frame, a region, or blowup a region, specifying also the corrdinates of the rectangular marquee.  Type is "full", "region", or "blowup". Used for specifying a specific region or section of the frame to render or enlarge.

depth

Tooltip - image depth Used to override scenes current image depth settings.

channels

Tooltip - specify channels layers that Maxwell will export (r,a,ao,s,m,i,z<min/max>) Click choices to override the export of channels layers.

channel

Tooltip - [channel_name],[on|off],[depth(8,16,32)],[format] : Different channels that can export and their format. All the parameters are optional except for the first one. Examples: channel:alpha,on,32,tif... channel:material... channel:object,off Used to override different channels that can export and their format. see tooltip for examples.

zmin

Tooltip - zmin value of the zbuffer channel Used to override the zmin values

camera

Tooltip - camera to render (otherwise defauls to active camera) Used to override the chosen camera if multiple are available

defaultmat
