First I close the render settings dialog with renderSceneDialog.close(), and then I set the property in question with rendShowVFB=false. Then create my new job with <netManager>.newJob(), and I submit it for rendering with job.submit()… and the rendered frame window still appears when the server starts rendering.
Any ideas how to control this property?
Would in be possible to add a persistent filePostOpen callback into the scene before submission that would flag the render setting or perhaps a preRender event??

What render engine are you using? Some render engines have their own VFB, which would need to be disabled as well.

Thanks, guys, for the ideas.
Shane,
So I think what you’re suggesting is that I plant a script in the file so that when it’s opened by each server, it sets rendShowVFB to false at render time? It’d be real shame if that’s the only solution I can find because that will mean that this is an example of one more bugged maxscript command… but I’ll look into that and report back if it works.
Eric,
This is just the default scanline renderer that I’m dealing with now, I didn’t even think about how this would impact others as well. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
