Scene Keyword not replacing correctly

[nogardvfx]

When rendering with a scene file named like "name__##.ma" (notice two underscores), the keyword <SCENE> in "File Name Prefix" gets replaced by "name" instead of "name__##". For example, if my scene is called "testOutputName__01.ma", the <SCENE> gets replaced with "testOutputName" but I'd like it to use "testOutputName__01" instead. Is this intended? I'm using vray 3 btw. Is there a way to get the actual output directory? I'm currently using python code:

cmds.renderSettings(layer="masterLayer", fullPath=True, firstImageName=True

which gives me "testOutputName__01" instead of "testOutputName".

This doesn't seem to happen when there's just one underscore or when there are letters followed by the two underscores.

It seems it works fine here:


What is the exact versions/service pack of V-Ray/Maya/OS?
A step by step instructions how to reproduce the issue would be very helpful also.

Is that under linux?

[nogardvfx]

Yup. I'll get all the info.

I'm using vray 3.05.04.25245_2015 with Maya 2015 on Centos 6. I'm rendering this via maya's Render from the command line. More info here - http://knowledge.autodesk.com/suppor...-line-htm.html

When I render from Render > Render Current Frame in Maya UI, it works fine. But when I run this from the shell:

Render -s 1 -e 1 -b 1 -rl masterLayer -r file -rd /path/to/maya/project -preRender 'loadPlugin vrayformaya.so;' /path/to/maya/scenes/testOutputName__01.ma

It takes out the "__01" in the output image. Is this the case on your side?

Thanks

Thank you very much for the clarification.
We managed to reproduce the issue - we will log it into our system and we will let you know when we have some updates about it.

Just checking to see if there is any update. This is holding up some development on our end.
