Hi all,

I am having a problem batch rendering out my scene. In the render globals i have put start=1 and endframe=270 but everytime i Batch render it renders the first frame, then it says the render is complete. This problem can get very frustrating. If anyone that have any suggestions...... please HELP. it took a long time to put this scene together as i am a student and i'm desperate.

globals

under your render globals theres a box up near the top that says something like file#frame(im not near my comp) change that to the second or third one down both will work.if you dont change that setting it will only render one frame.

SWEET!

Try turning off the depth channel. Probably won't make a difference but worth a try.

Are there any messages in the output window?

Not the script editor, the output window.

Did turning off depth channel make a difference?

Also, try rendering from windows. Close Maya, and right click on your file and select render.

Oh my God, Dann you are the greatest :attn: you just saved me.
It actually renders when i do it from windows. It's really wierd that it wont render from maya itself. I'm wondering if i can still render in layers like this?
