Re: Batch Rendering in Maya not working... Advise please!

Thank You Michael,

I finally got that render to work. I did not set the project correctly and when I ran batch render I had an error or two that I fixed. I however have ran into another problem. I used Mental Ray to make my object metallic and add some glass to it too. I have not referenced any outside files just used the textures I got from Maya and tweaked them to my liking. My object faces reading reads 888431 888030 I don't know what the two different numbers mean. Anyways I go to render and it gets to 100% of the first frame and hangs up. It doesn't say render completed just stays at 100% and doesn't close out the file so I can't even open frame one. Also I am rendering over a network it's going from a MAC to a PC I got another file to work fine but this file just won't work! I wanted to give you the render log info but I have no clue where it is or where to locate the information. Also I have no idea where the Mel memory is located either. the render diagnostic says this:

//0 warning

HELP PLEASE!

The script editor says this during the render
