Hi guys I'm getting an error message I have no clue of what it means.

Since yesterday everytime I try to batch render a fluid simulation ( cached ) I get this error: "need a unique name among all disk caches" after that rendering starts as usual and ends, but it is only rendering one frmae, it is not taking into account my render globals wich are set to render from frame 0 to frame 65.

I have no clue of what to do, this is a big trouble as I can't even test render things.

I am using mental ray in case that gives some extra info.

Thanks in advance

The thing is..... Maya may have this bug when creating and deleting a cache several times. Insted of creating and deleting the cache all the time, you should create a cache once, truncate it from the 1st frame when you want to delete it and then append to it when you want to create a new one. Don't know a solution for your problem, but this is a wirkarround...
