The problem is that the batch render will not see the file for some reason. Rendering in Maya works just fine. However, running the batch render (from cmd line) doesn't seem to work at all. It was working 2 days ago, but not anymore. Nonetheless, if I try to run the batch render from within maya, it will work just fine.

Here's my full batch render command.

render -r mr -x 1152 -y 900 -cam Render_Camera_Main -rl true -v 5 -mem 3072 -rnm false -rd C:\Users\Mohd\Desktop\Aurano -proj F:\projects\The Aurano\scenes\stage75.mb

Here's a try to keep it as simple as possible to " see " why is it happening.
I attached a screen shoot that might help you to see the problem better.

Maybe you typed it wrong here, or maybe this is your problem because in your example code you did not specify a folder-path after the -proj flag. But since there is a space in one of the folder names in your scene path, then the project would be set to "F:\projects\The" and your scene path would be "Aurano\scenes\stage75.mb"

Try this, where I have put the project path in quotes.

render -r mr -x 1152 -y 900 -cam Render_Camera_Main -rl true -v 5 -mem 3072 -rnm false -rd C:\Users\Mohd\Desktop\Aurano -proj "F:\projects\The Aurano" scenes\stage75.mb


But in your cmd-prompt screenshot you did not use the -proj flag at all. And you did not specify the full path to the scenes file. You should do at least one of these. I usually do both. (Although I admit that I too would have assumed that in this case it would find that scene file since you launched the cmd while in the scenes folder - obviously not though)

K, this did work. I tried to add quotation marks after the -proj and ends by the scene name, not the right way I guess.

Navigating in the cmd line to the scene file to render does not seem to work anymore I guess. You need to be more specific :p

However, in the previous versions and a few days ago , it did work. weird :)

thank you David !
