taz, I tried different things: changing file types like png, jpg or bmp. (I have to mention that I count myself completely to the script virgins) I just inserted the code from Damien into a VB comp. If I connect an object (i.e. geometry inside a bounding box) to the x input rhino immediately starts to render an image. If I then connect a number slider (which is also rotating the bbox geo) into the y input of the VB comp it does the same thing again. For an animation from stills I just need to animate the slider in a usual way and GH starts to extract stills from slider positions and synchroniusly tells rhino to render the scene in vray.
It all seems to work well but the destination folder remains empty!
