Maya .bat file command for time/frame?

[ecarlsen]

Hi all, I'm doing batch rendering from a .bat file, using flags like those found on https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...atch+Rendering.

Is there a flag I can include in the .bat file for Vray's "Max. render time (min)" parameter in the render settings?

I'm rendering out multiple cameras and some don't require as many minutes/frame, so I'd like to be able to change it for different camera views and frame ranges within the .bat file. For example, if the flag I'm looking for is "maxtime" and I went to set a max of 10 minutes/frame for one camera and 15 minutes/frame for another, it might look like:

render -r vray -s 1400 -e 1800 -cam "camera2" -im "volcano_cam2" [file path] -maxtime 10
render -r vray -s 1400 -e 1800 -cam "camera3" -im "volcano_cam3" [file path] -maxtime 15

If this doesn't work, I'm thinking I'll need to save different scene files with the "Max. render time (min)" parameter adjusted. But I'm hopeful there's a flag for this?

Sorry for the late reply. We don't have special flags that change the render settings. It could be done in theory in maya batch with some pre-render scripts.
