Hi,
I'm using 42 days C4D demo to experiment with the command line options..
I'm trying to create a thumbnail picture of c4d file using -nogui and -render options, but the program is ignoring most of the parameters (except the filename to open), opens the GUI and displaying the activation confirmation window. How I can use C4D to create JPG preview using the command line?
