script/plugin to simulate then render?

[jrand]

Here you go, wrote this a while back...

Sim and Render - copy folders/files to max root as you would with any other script.

Grab a button/shortcut/whatever from customize dialog (under main ui>FumeFlow category)

Just make sure you are writing your renders to an empty folder or else you will receive a "File Overwrite" confirmation dialog box that will stop the script.
