Batch render does not render

Hi,

I got a big problem with the batch renderer. I have a scene and i can render single frames. When i choose frame 1-500 and want to batch redner them, he is starting and after 1 minute, the console shows: Rendering complete, look mayarenderlog.txt for more information.
What the heck is he doing.

I chose. jpeg as image format and lowest quality for rendering.


Thank you for your help.

your using mental ray and you dont know where your images went?? try something like defaulting your preferances, use .tiff, use maya software, and look in the 'images' folder. try something a little less than 4K..,maybe 610 by 512 (whatever it is)??!

4K and mental ray?? no doubt you are using ray tracing too?? I think you'd need a quad processor.., or you will be waiting until next year for the render.

??

good luck,

"4K and mental ray?? no doubt you are using ray tracing too?? I think you'd need a quad processor.., or you will be waiting until next year for the render."

hahaha just for one render! wow :p just say a 1 core processor renders a image in 1 min how long will it take for the quad core you think?

also e-anima, try a google search to see if you havnt found the problem yet or check on alias forum.
