render current Frame Looping

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

the render current frame function seems to be looping, every time i hit render it just renders the same frame/layer/ over and over again. fairly annoying when trying to view the end result. i have to stop the render just before it finishes to preview it before it begins rerendering again.>?strange>?

thanks

Hi jrm522, found this on the web. I doubt it's the reason you're having your problem but I thought I'd post it just in case.

Troubleshoot looping renders

Cycles in a render node network cause the renderer to loop forever. A cycle is
when two or more nodes mutually depend on each other for their information.
Do not construct a render node network with cycles. If you create a cycling render
node network accidentally, break one or more of the cycles using the Connection
Editor before you render.

Not sure exactly what it all means but maybe someone else here can tell you (and me). user added image
