You can use scriptXSI.bat in %XSI_HOME%\Application\bin to create a desktop shortcut for batch rendering. When you drag and drop a scene file on that batch file, that starts a batch render.
To create a desktop shortcut, right-click scriptXSI.bat and click Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).
If you want to drag and drop multiple scenes:
- Copy scriptXSI.bat to your desktop.
- Edit the batch file and change it to this:
@echo off call "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack\Application\bin\setenv.bat" :next if "%1"=="" goto end set SCN=%1 "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack\Application\bin\XSIBatch.exe" -render %SCN% shift goto next :end
