Slave Extra Info

Deadline
1

We’re currently looking at the Extra Info options within the slaves, primarily to display the current 3DS Max/SP version and ideally Vray version to ensure all slave are running the same versions.

However I’m struggling to find any documentation beyond the scripting reference and this doesn’t explain how this is achived that I can find.

Is this possible?

Is there some documentation/tutorial anywhere?

Any help would be greatly appreciated because the manual simply says you can add extra info, however all it seems to do is repeat what I’ve typed in the slave properties in the monitor, I can’t get any scripting commands to work?

Thanks

Brilliant, just what I was looking for, I just need to figure out the environment variables for the 3DS max version and Vray version now.

And ideally for some of the plugins.

Thanks for the pointer
