Rendering multiple frame ranges

[jostrem]

Hello Everybody,
I work at a small VFX company in Vancouver using Maya 2011.

When working on projects, we often need to render multiple sections of the same maya file (multiple frame ranges). We are aware that using a batch render would work. However, we are looking for ease of use. In 3dsMax it is a simple matter, you simply write (2-10,40-50,75,80).

Does anyone know of a plugin for Maya that would add this function? Preferably in the render window.

Render window is just a stcript interface, you can chnge it to that. So yes you can do this, no problem whatsoever. Maya users wouldnt call a script a plugin nor would they want it to be a plugin.

I would estimate this is something about 30 minutes of work for any remotely proficient maya scipter.
