2 Open Terminal and navigate to the directory where your orchid.shk script is saved.
3 Type:
shake -exec orchid.shk -v
Note: In OS X, if you do not have environment variables set for Shake, you must type
the full Shake path, for example:
/Applications/Shake/shake.app/Contents/MacOS/shake -exec orchid.shk -v
Usually, you set your environment variables to use the shake command with a lower-
case “s.” For more information, see “Environment Variables for Shake” in Chapter 14 of
the Shake 4 User Manual.
On a Linux or IRIX system, type the following (the Shake command begins with a
lower-case “s”):
shake -exec orchid.shk -v
The -v means “verbose,” so the render status is displayed. For more information on the
command line, see Appendix B, “The Shake Command-Line Manual,” in the Shake 4 User
Manual.
4 To override the time range, use the -t option:
shake -exec orchid.shk -v -t 10-20
or
shake -exec orchid.shk -v -t 1-56x2
The above command renders every other frame.
