Is there a way to control the renderer from the MaxScript Pre-Render script?
I wish to define different render settings per frame from within the script, so could the render command be triggered only via MaxScript, inhibiting the command from Deadline (if any)?
Best!
Deadline renders each frame one at a time internally, so I would expect that the pre-render script would be called prior to each render. So theoretically that should allow you to set up the render settings prior to each render.
If that’s not working, an alternative might be to submit a maxscript job to Deadline so that you could control the entire render process yourself. See the Submit Script Job option here for more info:

Thanks Ryan, you guys rock!
