[Closed] Is it possible to switch the renderer through script?

Yes you just need to set the renderers.production to an instance of the renderer plugin.

renderers.production = mental_ray_renderer()

NOTE: this will not show if the Render Scene Dialog is open. You will need to manually update the dialog if it is open.

if (renderSceneDialog.isOpen()) do (renderSceneDialog.update())

NOTE 2: Most renderers inside of 3ds Max don’t store their settings when you switch to another renderer, so I would reccomend saving your settings to a render preset if you wish to bring those settings back.

Awesome, thanks!
