Frame Size Problem

[user_deleted]

Hi all, first of all. I appreciate anyone reading this and offering any help with my little problem.

O.k, here's the thing. When I render it seems that Maya is not paying any attention to the frame size which has been set in the Render Settings. It seems however to be based on the size of the viewport which I render from. So for instance, if I have viewports in "Four Panes" mode I get a small frame size which is the same size of the viewport selected. If I have it in the "One Pane" mode I get a much larger frame. Changing the frame size in the Render Settings window does not make any difference.

If anyone could shed some light on this, that would be really cool.

Cheers

What kind of render are you talking about ... Software, hardware? maya, Mentalray ? from the maya GUI, from command line ?
You may have to precise a bit what you're doing because, as it is, it doesn't make any sense !
At least for everything except maybe hardware rendering, the viewport size has nothing to do with the render.

You're not talking about "rendering" animation using the "playbast" function, I hope...

Sorry about that, I thought that it may just be a general problem. The renderer I am using is Mental Ray, I just found what the problem was. For some reason the Test Resolution was set to Camera Panel and not render settings. mmmmm how annoying.
