I just search for info on this subject as the same thing has been annoying me…I can spend easily an hour adjusting all these settings before the end of the day so i can get a render out…then remember i ve missed something…
so thought i would do some research…and i find this thread…
whats been the outcome of your work so far ?

We do Arch-vis as well, without this tool we’d be reinventing the wheel time and time again. It does everything (dependancies etc) that you need and more: http://www.rpmanager.com/
Thanks for that…looks really interesting…
But i really wanted this as a learning experience so I want some code to play with…
but if all else fails its something to fall back on…
do you know of any maxscript references in terms of intereaction with vray
Unfortunately I don’t offhand. The ChaosGroup forum doesn’t have any specific maxscript help, but there are a large handful of people that do the know code specific to vray you could ask.
RPManager is a great tool for visual artists. It allows complete control of every render/render setting on a per shot basis. I can setup the IMAPs for my render on one pass, setup the lighting rig specific to another shot and have rp manager turn on and off the correct layers for each different shot. My normal renders will render once their dependancy (read IMAP) is done over backburner etc etc. It’s pretty inexpensive and worth every dime.
Hope this helps a bit.
