Re: Problem Rendering

One solution is to not use the batch render menu item. You'll probably find yourself rendering a lot. Its best to get familiar with the maya batch render commands that you can use in a shell prompt. (in fact you can make shelf buttons that will run your renders for you probably better than the menu item would)

To find the command and a list of arguements (you can control almost everything from the command line) look in the Help documentation under
Rendering and Render Setup
...Rendering Utilities
...Command line renderer

This is what I suggest most people learn if they will be doing much rendering. Every studio I know uses this for rendering, not the interface batch rendering.
