Error: Object Not Found: Renderview

[jjburton]

I've been working on a thumbnail making script and it works fine for a few hours and then I start getting this error - Error: Object not found: renderView. I seem to be able to haphazardly fix it in time, but I'd like to understand what's going on for a more stable script. This is the code where it hangs:

CODE
//Sets global render output variables
setAttr "defaultRenderGlobals.imageFormat" 20; //sets to BMP
setAttr "defaultResolution.width" 100; // set ressolution width
setAttr "defaultResolution.height" 100; // set ressolution height
setAttr "defaultRenderQuality.edgeAntiAliasing" 1; //turns on Antialiasing
setAttr "defaultResolution.deviceAspectRatio" 1; //Changes device aspect ratio

//

//Renders the Thumbnail...
render
        -x $thumbnailSize
        -y $thumbnailSize
        $thumbnailCameraName;
renderWindowSaveImageCallback "renderView" ($destinationFolder+$poseName) "BMP";
//

Any Thoughts? Thanks!

Can you send the script here?

My buddy at work figured it out, the renderView had apparently been uparented or deleted. So he found this bit of code to fix it:

CODE
    //Takes care of a STOOPID Maya error where the renderView object goes MIA
       string $renderPanel;
            string $renderPanels[] = getPanel -scriptType "renderWindowPanel";
            if(size($renderPanels))    {
                        $renderPanel = $renderPanels[0];
            }else{
                        $renderPanel = scriptedPanel -type "renderWindowPanel" -unParent renderView;
                        scriptedPanel -e -label "Render View" $renderPanel;
            }
    //

Then the image writing part was changed to:
CODE
//Renders the Thumbnail...
    render
        -x $thumbnailSize
        -y $thumbnailSize
        $thumbnailCameraName;

    renderWindowEditor -edit -writeImage ($destinationFolder + $poseName + ".bmp") $renderPanel;
    //

Thanks Anyway!
