Is there a Batch Render Viewports script for 3dsmax?

Is there a script that renders the front/back/left/right/top/down viewport of selected objects. So I would select a number of objects, run the script (and the script switches the viewports, frames the selected objects in the viewport and renders using the current settings?)

here you go

viewportarr = #(#view_top,#view_bottom,#view_right,#view_left,#view_front,#view_back)
savepath = "c:\\"
filename = "whatever" -- could use maxfilename

if selection.count != 0 then
(
    for i in viewportarr do
    (
        viewport.setType i
        max zoomext sel all
        outputbmp = BitMap  renderwidth renderheight
        render to:outputbmp
        outputbmp.filename = savepath+ filename + "_" + (i as string) + ".tga"
        print outputbmp.filename
        save outputbmp
    )
)

I knew it was easy, but thought there would be a fancy version around (With interface options). This is great though, thanks!

np, it could be that there's one out there that does this but it seems a bit specific
