Hello ALL

I have a little issue when I render on My Macbook Pro. I am using Bootcamp and a version of Maya 2008. When ever i render it spits back a message saying render completed and nothing has been rendered, I checked the maya log and nothing really jumps out as a problem. It works fine on teh Mac side. I have plenty of storage space, is there any other things that I should look out for when this occurs.

Thanks in advance

Try using a command-line render in the Maya Terminal Window - i.e., “render -r s -s 1 -e 100 -b 1 myfle.ma”.  You can look in the help files to learn more commands, but sometimes little glitches in the Maya software can be overridden by using the command line.

Thats why I hate apple computers and laptops. They seem more like toys to me.

Did you....
Check for any Updates and hardware requirements?
what about the product you have, is there any updates to that?
Also look at the Apple website for any support and see if anyone have the same problems as you.

Could you post your render log here?
Have you tried rendering from a different camera?
Do you have a light source in your scene?
What do you get when you do your render?

the only thing I can think of, and i doubt it’s this if you’re savvy enough to be looking at the render log, is if it’s overwriting the same frame over and over because of some weirdness in the render globals.

have you set the project directory correctly.  possibly your files got tossed into the default project?

did you set your project? if no, do it. if not, try setting up a second-temp project and render.

It’s very unlikely that the issue is that the computer is a mac.
