Looks cool! Thanks for sharing this.

How does the render function work? Does it center the perspective view on each object? invoke the scanline? output to what format? etc.?

It uses the settings of the file. So all settings need to be set. (camera selected, renderer assigned, save output). I thought this was most useful. Should I give the possibility to override some settings?
thanx for reply!

i've updated the script!
nobody comments or ideas?

Sorry, not really the kind of tool I need to use. But I support your efforts. Scripts are part of what makes Max such a great community toolset.

In general, it's helpful to have a changelist to see what's been added/fixed. Also MSE is encrypted, so it's less useful to others who may want to append other functions. For example, see TexTools by another member here.
