hello all. I'm having a problem rendering out a final gather cache file for use in an camera fly-through.
I'm used to writing a batch file with flags as such :
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2009\bin\Render.exe" -r mr -cam persp1 -rd F:\blah\blah\dracBatch_folder -rt 7 -proj F:\blah\maya\projects\win7_Drac -v 5 -aml -pad 3 -fnc name.#.ext -s 0 -e 150 -b 3 dracBatch.ma
but when i add the "-finalgather only" flag (or any -finalgather related flags) my batch render quits before it gets started. what's wrong? It renders out just fine if i change the mr globals in the scene itself, but i would like to avoid that if i can, and simply set all my FG options from the command line. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
just to be clear. This works:
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2009\bin\Render.exe" -r mr -cam persp1 -rd F:\blah\blah\dracBatch_folder -rt 7 -proj F:\blah\maya\projects\win7_Drac -v 5 -aml -pad 3 -fnc name.#.ext -s 0 -e 150 -b 3 dracBatch.ma
This doesn't:
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2009\bin\Render.exe" -r mr -cam persp1 -finalgather only -rd F:\blah\blah\dracBatch_folder -rt 7 -proj F:\blah\maya\projects\win7_Drac -v 5 -aml -pad 3 -fnc name.#.ext -s 0 -e 150 -b 3 dracBatch.ma
oh, and i'm running maya 2009 x64 sp1a in win 7 64.
thanks for taking the time.
