Mayabatch.exe does not exit in Maya 2022.3

[flat]

When Maya Batch Render is executed on "Windows 10 + Maya 2022.3 + Build 5.20.01", mayabatch.exe is not exited after rendering is completed. (Same for Nightlies 20220107)

This issue does not depend on the content of the scene.
There seems to be no problem with Maya 2022.2.

Is there a solution?

I can't manage to reproduce the issue. Can you share more details on how you start Maya Batch? Also do you use any other plugins and does disabling them help? Can you check if both installations use the same environment variables?

I'm running from Render >> Batch Render in Maya UI.
I captured the operation.

I have found this issue to occur when Arnold 7.0.0.0 [47ab20b9] is loaded on Maya 2022.3.

UnLaod the ARNOLD plugin will not cause any problems.
What is affecting it?

Hello. Have Chaos support personnel tested? busy?

There was a detail by direct mail from Mr. michael.

Redshift Render has the same issue,
If comment out (do not load) "bifrostGraph" and "bifrostGraph" from pluginPrefs.mel as shown below, there will be no problem with Redshift.

//evalDeferred("autoLoadPlugin("", "bifrostGraph", "bifrostGraph")");
//evalDeferred("autoLoadPlugin("", "bifrostvisplugin", "bifrostvisplugin")");

Please also report the issue to Autodesk from Chaos Team.

We are unable to reproduce that issue even if Arnold and Bifrost are loaded.

Have you tried reinstalling Maya or resetting its preferences?

flat if this happens with arnold or maya software, its likely not related to vray. Indeed a clean install should fix the issue perhaps. We render in maya 2022.3 all the time and no issues there.

Hallo,

not loading the bifrostGraph plugin is the solution
\\evalDeferred("autoLoadPlugin("", "bifrostGraph", "bifrostGraph")");

Flat, THANK YOU.

Yuji, if you need a place to sleep over and get a great dinner in Germany near Cologne you are invited.

I have informed Autodesk about the problem and the workaround.
Meanwhile I was really busy writing out vrscene files and using vraystandalone.

Cheers

Same problem here. I'm surprised that VRay hasn't solved this major issue yet. Maya 2023 + VRay 5

[james_malloch]

We're experiencing this problem too regularly - currently causing a lot of trouble. The maya batch process does not close down, often stopping a new batchrender from starting.
We're running Maya 2023.3 and Vray 6 (v6.00.03 from Dec 6 2022).

Please check this post for an explanation.

Thanks SGesheva

Yes this worked - I uninstalled Arnold and mayabatch.exe with VRay works again correctly!!
