3ds Max Alt Frames Cleanup Script

Deadline Deadline Uploads
#1

Here is a script I wrote that will rename frames rendered from a 3dsmax job that have been appended with “alt#”. Frames would have been rendered with this appended if there was an issue when rendering out to the original file name.

I’ve attached two scripts

  • The general script, where you can specify an output folder to run the script on. Extract to your \repository\scripts\General\ folder and run it through the Monitor’s “Script” menu.
  • The job script, which uses a job’s output folder or folders to run the script on. Extract to your \repository\scripts\Jobs\ folder and run it through the Monitor by right clicking on a job and selecting “Scripts”.

Feel free to post any questions, comments, or concerns here :stuck_out_tongue:

Awesome. Thanks for the scripts.

I couldn’t get the job one to work. It complains:

Python Error: ‘type’ object has no attribute ‘GetJob’ system exception.

The job script uses a new function which is only available in v4.1, which is available via the beta program.

Update to the General Monitor script to provide some basic error checking. See attached.
