Problems with Batch Rendering in maya

Silver105 · Mar 2012

Using Maya 2011

I'm using Mental Ray, and under the render settings I have the frame range set from frame 1 to 47.

Then when I go to Batch Render, it starts rendering, gets up to the very start of the 3rd frame then stops.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

The last time I ran into problems with a MR batch render, it was system resources and memory that were the culprit. I took the same file to a different machine with more memory and it worked fine (i.e. didn't stop after x frames). You might try rendering from the Windows command line (no need to have Maya running once you have set everything up). You do have to have an environment variable set to the Maya location first (there are online instructions for doing so).

I seem to be getting these errors quite a bit

1. Maya can't find a plug-in called, "r1globals.mll" not sure where the heck i can find that.

2. Fatal Error. Attempting to save in C:/Users/HPADMI~1/AppData/Local/Temp/HP Admin.20120410.0353.ma
// Maya exited with status 1 I don't get this notice a lot most of the time it just quits rendering saying this

DB 0.0 // Maya exited with status 1

Also something to note, I am able to pick up after the previously rendered frame and continue rendering but mostly with limited success of 2 or 3 frames.

TO ANYONE WHO MAY ENCOUNTER THIS PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE!

I tried several things and made many attempts to fix this issue.

In the end the only thing that worked was installing a clean version of maya.

So uninstall re-install or get the next version.
