Well, I read through this whole thread, downloaded the shader, played with it a little, rendered a few shots out, made a short animation with it, then realized that the CD didn't render out in the animation. Why didn't it? I'm guessing it has something to do with batch rendering because I get the CD when I do a regular render. All of my settings are the same for when I batch render and when I regular render. What's the problem? Is it possible that Alias|Wavefront embedded some sort of code in their mll file that would prevent people from batch rendering animations with it?
