Maya's Command Line

[casey33]

ok, how do you get the right side of the command line to display feed back when doing a batch render from within maya?

usually, if i'd kick off a batch render while in maya, the lower right would first say

1. rendering with maya sofware (or something like that)

2. then, it would say it was rendering frame 1 and show the percentage of completion.

3. then when it reached 100 % for frame 1, it would do the same for frame 2, frame 3, etc

NOW....the only thing i see in the command line feedback area is:

1. rendering with maya software. it doesn't give me any of that feedback.

how do i fix this so i can see the progression of the render?

thanks!

Hi,

you could use the Render command outside of Maya. Launch a shell (Windows-R, cmd.exe) and navigate to the directory where your scene files are.

CODE
Render -s -e

will do the job with some nice output.

If you use mental Ray as a renderer you could do

CODE
Render -r mr -s -e

The detail of the output settings is called "verbosity". You can set it using the -v option.

CODE
Render -r mr -v 4 -s -e

Hope this helped.

thanks for the response. yes, i do use the command line render outside of maya. but, i still use the batch from within maya at times. i know its not the optimal way to render, but if i just have a few frames...i don't mind.

i still like to see the feedback in maya's command line.....so if anybody has any idea why it would not show up, please let me know.

thanks!
