terminal render mac

[corestudio]

Hi all. Doing a vray trial here.

Attempting to do a render in the terminal in the same way we render with mr. Eventually we'll be submitting renders via rush. At the moment we get:

gfx00:~ gfx20$ render -r vray -help
Cannot open renderer description file "vrayRenderer.xml"

The file is in: /Applications/Autodesk/maya2013/bin/rendererDesc/vrayRenderer.xml so it's not that the .xml is missing.

Assuming the same workflow is possible, but I don't see it directly addressed in the docs. Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I was able to reproduce this problem with maya 2011, too.
I'm logging it in our issues tracker, so we will fix it.
Until then you can use the following workaround:
Execute this in the terminal before you execute the render command.
$ export MAYA_RENDER_DESC_PATH=/Applications/Autodesk/maya2013/bin/rendererDesc/:$MAYA_RENDER_DESC_PATH
