Hi, I setup my max batch render to save a file .cxr, my scene has lightmix render elements set. In max render elements->Selected render parameters, I removed and leave blank all path with filename. But when i start the render, it steel saves all render elements in cxr format, but I want it save only the main file with lightmix inside. Is there a way not to save all render elements?
Thanks

This arises due to the way Max handles saving, I believe (saves happen through the Max system). I don't think there's a way to avoid it, just have to delete the extra files afterward.

AFAIK if you use batch render, with render elements, this will always happen. If you have no render elements (ie no LightMix) it won't happen. If you don't use batch render, but save from the VFB for example, it won't happen (as then you are saving through Corona, not saving through Max).
