Can't batch render

[sebastiaaan]

Hey everybody,

I have a scene, which just doesn't batch render. Normal rendering is fine. I think the problem is due to old shave nodes (exported guides, which I'm now using for Maya hair with a vrayhair material), since it displayed warning messages that it can't find required shave nodes even though there is no shave in the scene.

Well i tried Optimize Scene Size, which didn't get rid of those unknown nodes and eventually deleted the shaveGlobals manually using

lockNode -lock 0 shaveGlobals
delete `ls -type shaveGlobals`

Now I don't have any warning messages, however I still can't batch render... .

( I'm able to batch render in other scenes though..)

Hope someone has a solution.

Kind regards,
Sebastian

(I'm rather new to vray, sorry if this is very simple :P)



This is all I'm getting from the batch render:

Any ideas? I Need to get this scene Rendering on Rebus tonight.

[sebastiaaan]

Well, it actually does batch render. It just takes 30 minutes to start for whatever reason... .

[refract]

Remove the pre render shave callback text from the common tab in render globals? Thats a problem I've had.

[sebastiaaan]

Hey, in case anyone else has to get rid of shave nodes in the scene. I had to also remove the pre render shave callback scripts and additionally use this,

lockNode -lock 0 shaveGlobals
delete `ls -type shaveGlobals`

to delete the shave nodes manually. It still takes a long time to start but thats another problem I suppose.

(thanks refract for your reply. )

Cheers
