still learning ...
im to lazy to go to render setup (F10) and scroll down to assign renderer so i make this script to change renderer for just click. for this time it just for scanline, mentalray and vray, for vray you have to install the vray plugin first.

first time make script
save the project before use it, it can render sequence as you set the time range in render setup (F10), and set the output path also.
this script makes the objects that selected will be render as white and other will be black and makes environment background off and be black and set the renderer to scanline, but it keeps the time range and output , so you should change the output path or will be overwrite.

cheers

This script lets you automatically align one object to another (animated) by aligning it in every frame and creating a key for choosen controllers (position, rotation, scale) in every frame. Especially useful for animators. The use explained on video.

This simple script reverses the animation of the selected objects. It uses the current time range as the beginning and end point for reversing the animation.

Just run the script and make a selection then hit Reverse Animation!

Enjoy!

This simple script shift the animations for all selected geometry object, and make it loop within the current animation range. You can ask an exact amount, or randomize the decal for each object.

I figured since i got a huge number of functions flying around on my drives that i'd put the most useful into a struct and put it online somewhere so people who might need something don't have to reinvent the wheel.
More comments are to be added later

In case you run multiple backburner managers (e.g. on notebook at several places or using local manager and manager in office) it is good idea to have icons for automatic connecting monitor to the different manager hosts.

I've found two working command line parameters for monitor.exe:

monitor -a
monitor -mservername

First one turns "Auto connect" on. Second one sets manager hostname and connects to it. (Note: There is no space between -m and hostname or ip)
