Hi guys,

I dug through the forums and couldn’t find what I needed specifically, so I figured I would post about what I’m doing and see if anyone knows where I’m going wrong.

I wrote a script a couple of years ago that would render an animated model from a number of different angles and dump it out to a series of images. It was so I could create some sprite sheets of models that I had animated. I decided to go back to it and rewrite it, since I wasn’t happy with the implementation.

One thing that I noticed was that the way I was rendering was to use a command that looked something like “render -r mr ... “ but what I am finding is that the -r flag was removed from render sometime before Maya 2012, along with most of its functionality. I tried to put together a similar solution using batchRender, but it’s not going great. After each iteration of the loop where my camera rotates around the object, it attempts to cancel the last batch render and start the new one. With ‘render’ it would execute sequentially, so that wasn’t an issue. Does anyone have some insight into how to effectively use batchRender? Or some more useful variation?

Thanks guys.
