Hi, I render a vrscene with maya_vray/bin/vray.exe which I’ve exported out of Maya but it keeps rendering the persp camera view, and not my renderCam render view. The persp is not renderable and the renderCam is renderable. Is this a bug or is there some way I can define which camera/s should be r…

Are you sure you’ve exported the correct camera in the vrscene file? V-Ray standalone renders the camera that is written in the scene. And most of the time there is only one camera written there. You can search for the RenderView string in the vrscene file to check if you have more than one camera…

Well, I’m not sure how it does the export in detail as I am new to exporting and rendering .vrscene files. All I did was, in the “Translate” tab of Render Globals: 1. Untick “Render”. 2. Tick “Export to a .vrscene file” 3. Perform the vrend command, just like this without any arguments: vrend 4.…

Have you passed a -camera flag to the vrend command? If you haven’t probably you should try it. It requires the path to the transform node. For the layer I think passing “-layer” should work.

No I haven’t, I’ll try that. Can I give the .vrscene multiple cameras? Is it possible to list all arguments (-camera, -layer, etc) that can be used with vrend somehow?

[image] Light Leak Can I give the .vrscene multiple cameras? No. V-Ray for Maya exports only one RenderView plugin instance. Even if there were more, V-Ray Standalone would just render one of them. Is it possible to list all arguments (-camera, -layer, etc) that can be used with vrend someho…

Ok, great :slight_smile: thanks!

Hey again, When I export a .vrscene with vrend -camera <cameraName> -layer <layerName> and then render that with vray.exe and -frames=1-20, it seems that only the frame I was currently looking at in Maya was exported. When exporting via vrend, do I have to specify a framerange?

I think it should read the settings in the RenderSettings → V-Ray → Animation

I know it sounds weird, and I don’t think I’m doing it wrong. I’ve got “Animation” ticked, my start frame is 1 and my end frame is 20. I export the vrscene with the command posted above and I render with -frames=1-20 … but I only get 20 identical frames which match the frame I’m currently on inside …

Hi again, I found the issue. I had “Render animation only in batch mode” ticked.
