I have been given a .bat file for using to render my project, but it gives me an error.

The Bat file:

cd\
cd C:\Documents and Settings\Ole Kristian\Mine dokumenter\maya\projects\FXWar - Super powers\scenes\passes_2
render -r mr -log c:\renderLog.txt AO_car
render -r mr -log c:\renderLog.txt AO_ground
render -r mr -log c:\renderLog.txt FG
render -r mr -log c:\renderLog.txt fill_light
render -r mr -log c:\renderLog.txt key_light
render -r mr -log c:\renderLog.txt reflection
render -r mr -log c:\renderLog.txt RO_car
render -r mr -log c:\renderLog.txt shadow
render -r mr -log c:\renderLog.txt specular
render -r mr -log c:\renderLog.txt tires_fill_light
render -r mr -log c:\renderLog.txt car_shadow


This is the errpr I get:


Starting "C:\Programfiler\Alias\Maya7.0\bin\mayabatch.exe"
Error: line 1: File not found.: ./AO_car
Error: Scene was not loaded properly, please check the scene name

Starting "C:\Programfiler\Alias\Maya7.0\bin\mayabatch.exe"




Anyone knows how to solve it?

Thanks

the correct scene format submission is

render -r mr -proj f:\tatoo f:\tatoo\scenes\wiremesh.mb

its a good idea to set the project in the command flag as well as any other options

dont use the change directory command.

OK, still not able to render, here is what i have now:
render -r mr -log c:\renderLog.txt AO_car -proj \Documents and Settings\Ole Kristian\Mine dokumenter\maya\projects\FXWar - Super powers C:\Documents and Settings\Ole Kristian\Mine dokumenter\maya\projects\FXWar - Super powers\scenes\passes_2\AO_car.mb

any ideas?

the filename is AO_car.mb or AO_car.ma, not just AO_Car

Also, i believe you have to use ""/quotes when typing in a path that has a space in it.
from
C:\Documents and Settings\Ole Kristian\Mine dokumenter
to
"C:\Documents and Settings\Ole Kristian\Mine dokumenter..."

you only have to use the quotes if you have a space in your file path which H3ro does. so the correct format is.

render -r mr -proj "c:\project" "c:\project\scenes\scene.mb"

and to top it off this is going to now get a hearty rtfm, its all in there.
