Maya scene batch rendered in a Windows Shell To render using the renderer specified in the scene file, type 'render', followed by any batch render flags, and then the Maya scene pathname: Render -s 1 -e 10 C:\Users\Documents\maya\projects\Batch_render\scenes\batch_render.mb "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2018\bin\Render.exe” C:\Users\Documents\maya\projects\Batch_render\scenes\batch_render.mb LinuxĮxport PATH=$PATH:/usr/autodesk/maya2018-圆4/bin OS XĮxport PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Autodesk/maya2018/Maya.app/Contents/bin Command-Line Renderingīefore saving the Maya file for batch rendering, make sure that the project is set correctly, that the renderer is set to Arnold and that the camera (and other settings) are set correctly in the Render Settings window. By default, it should be something like C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2018\binĪn alternative method would be to type the full path to 'Render.exe' on the command line: Under 'Variable value' you should see numerous paths, each separated by a semi-colon.

You can use the Maya batch renderer to render sequences of frames with Arnold. If you don't have an Arnold license (which is a separate purchase), use Render > Render Sequence. Batch rendering requires an Arnold license to remove the watermark.
