// This simply goes to the specified start frame, and plays through time
// up to the specified end time. Good to put as a pre-render command if
// you're having trouble with particles or expressions not updating correctly
// when starting a render within a sequence.
// 
// For example, stuck this in as your pre-render command:
//   runupScene 1 `currentTime -q`
//
// There is a builtin command in Maya called 'runup', but this only works for
// dynamics objects. This script updates everything in the scene.

global proc runupScene(int $startframe, int $endframe)
{
  int $i;
  for($i=$startframe; $i<=$endframe; $i++) {
    currentTime -e -update true $i;
  }
