Export soft file to mi file for batch rendering

[cire]

Hi there! I'm trying to setup a batch network rendering system here in our place. I'm using smedge which I downloaded from here. My question is how can I make soft3D output mi files so that I can batch render it from inside smedge. soft3d doesn't seem to have any option for exporting to mi format. Or i'd just overlooked it. Can I use soft3d's standalone renderer to render soft3d scenes which uses MR as the renderer? Thanks.

(Make sure that you've got Mental Ray selected as the renderer)

Yes, the standalone rendering switch is -R (I.E. soft -R) Type soft -h to see a list of some of the other switches.

Hope this helps.
