I'm using OSX and I'm getting an error when I try to execute the following render command from Terminal.. :banghead:

/Applications/Autodesk/maya2009/Maya.app/Contents/bin/Render -r -mr myFile.mb

This is the error...

Cannot open renderer description file "-mrRenderer.xml"

Does anyone know why??

TIA :cry:

ooops, Found my answer here: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=687088

I put a '-' in front of mr . Working now :)

it should have been like this

/Applications/Autodesk/maya2009/Maya.app/Contents/bin/Render -r mr myFile.mb

FYI
Also, if you use the terminal shipped with Maya, you dont have to use the explicit path to the render command, it can be run like:
Render -r mr myFile.mb
saves some typing
