    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

     Click here for details...

    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.

    Browse or manually enter the required scripts

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

    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.
