I don't know C4D rendered curves but the 3ds max "rendered lines" looks like
some extrusions along curve in XSI...
So here is a possible workaround :
- Create a circle to control the thickness/subdivision of the "rendered
lines" then select all the curves you want to render.
- Run this script
http://www.philbarrenger.com/tutorials/beggin-script/begginerscripttut.js
- Pick the circle et voil�.
Curves are not lofted at render time but it can do the job.
Cheers,
