Even echo all command on, I still can not get the mel command that switch render.
For example I want to change from Maya software to MentalRay, so how could I do it by mel

Thanks for your help

Hey ghostlake114,

Here some code that I think will help you out. The getAttr is just used to find which one is the current one. Just replace the $vector at the end to which ever other variable you would need.

Dan

getAttr defaultRenderGlobals.currentRenderer

string $mentalRay = "mentalRay";

string $softWare = "mayaSoftware";

string $hardWare = "mayaHardware";

string $vector = "mayaVector";

setAttr "defaultRenderGlobals.currentRenderer" -type "string" $vector;
