Re: Maya Crashes everytime I render a frame

Its time for the divide and conquer approach. First thing is create and try rendering through a new camera. Sometimes cameras can get corrupted and they break renders. Once its confirmed that the problem is not with the camera chances are something else in your scene is causing problems.

Try hiding everything in the scene and render. If that renders then chances are some geometry is causing the problem and you can use this technique to narrow down what is the geometric problem.

If you hide everything and still cannot get a successful render it may be some other garbage in the scene confusing maya. Try using File->Export All to a new scene file (be sure to check the options to ensure you keep things you need, like history and textures). Try rendering this new scene file it may or may not work.

If you reach this point and all this fails start exporting pieces of your scene and rendering those pieces, you may eventually come upon some section of the scene that is causing the break.

Troubleshooting is a tough job, take it one step at a time and do big obvious tests first before you get into real detailed testing.
