Hello Every body, :wavey:

I currently have a problem with paint effect and maya batch.
Some of my scenes doesn't render it (others do) and I really don't understand why.
All parameters are the same between scenes and what is strange is that:

With scenes wich render paint effect, I have one image in the end (my_render_001.pic).
But with scene that doesn't render, I have two pictures (my_render_001.pic and my_render_001_depth.pic).
One is empty and the depth contain... a depth information.

In the log:
- With scenes wich render, I have a message about the MAYA_PAINT_EFFECTS_THREADS (just telling I have only selected 2 threads). That mean he use paint effect.

- With scenes wich don't render, I don't have this message, as if the "post-effect" computing was inactivated...

Last but not least:
Any way, if I open scenes wich don't render in maya, all work well! :banghead:

I have spend lot of time searching solutions and now I have no way... that why I call the community (you :bowdown: )...

I suppose it's a recurring problem and some people seems to have meet it once.
I'm not searching THE solution but a "way" where I can found it.

In advance, thanks all and have a good day! :)

After spend a long time looking for this problem, it seem to be a ASCII problem.

All scene wich have the problem are in ASCII format (I must use for manipulation) and if I save them in Binary format, all work well...

So, now I have a solution to render my paint effects but it's not "the" solution (even batch open *.ma and save in *.mb will be too long...)

Any one have a idea?
This is very strange because it had work before.

Thanks in advance! :wavey:
