multi-object BakeOption using MayaBatch

[flat]

Hello

Is there a way to perform a multi-object BakeOption using MayaBatch/Deadline?

Even if I set the following to Pre Render MEL, MayaBatch does not process this Pre Render MEL.

select -r pCube1 pCylinder1 pTorus1; vrayStartBake;

Verified with V-Ray 6 update2 Maya 2024

Works fine on my end, however, since no VRayBakeOptions are set there won't be an output. Try this:

select -r pCube1 pCylinder1 pTorus1;
optionVar -intValue "vrayBakeType" 2;
optionVar -intValue "vraySkipNodesWithoutBakeOptions" 0;
optionVar -intValue "vrayAssignBakedTextures" 0;
optionVar -stringValue "vrayBakeOutputPath" "path/to/scene/";
optionVar -intValue "vrayBakeProjectionBaking" 0;
vrayStartBake;​

In this case:
1. Geometry is selected
2. Objects to Bake is set to Selected.
3. Skip objects with no VRayBakeOptions assigned is unticked
4. Assign baked textures is unticked
5. Make sure you use "/" in the path
6. Project Baking is unticked

Thank you for your advice. It worked!

PS: The second line of your code is "ptionVar". The correct name is "optionVar".
