Thank you for the replies. I tried the command line but could not get it to work fredriksson. Not very familiar with that but I tried it through the Maya command line and typed in ( render -s 0 -e 0 -im <image> <Factory_FINAL2>

It came back and said Syntax error? I than tried to go through DOS but have no idea how to do this. Any suggestions?

Interesting Idea Pure Morning. I am trying that test out now with render layers making a layer for the pipes and the rest of the scene. How should I set this up meaning...What shoudl I leave on and off for the 2 layers, i.e. Beauty, Color, Spec? I also do not know about light linking. How does this work and what should I check in my shadows? I am new at this. thank you.
