When I cmd line render multichannel exr’s the delimiter before the frame number is omitted. I can compensate by appending it to the fileNamePrefix in the VRay common tab of render settings, but it would be better if it worked like normal exr renders.
Yes, there is a bit of a mismatch here (multichannel .exr files go through a different code than regular ones); I’m somewhat hesitant to fix it at this point as the code is shared with V-Ray for 3ds Max and might break existing workflows. Will see what can be done about it.

This would be easier to work around if the “-im” flag worked when doing “render -r file” renders, but sadly it is ignored.
It works with “render -r vray”, so I can use that, but the inconsistency makes it hard for the deadline submission code.
Can’t do much about that unfortunately; if you don’t specify the “-r vray” flag, Maya does not call the V-Ray scripts at all.

Ok. So thats whats happening. Its not so bad since we mostly render each layer as a seperate job so I can check the renderer before submitting and use the correct flag. Thanks.
