Hi, i just got a new computer, its a dual opteron 2.0 ghz, with 2 gigs of ram and a NVidia FX5200 Card, it has an IWILL Motherboard and a maxtor harddrive, im using maya 6.0 and when i batch render it says
// Result: Rendering with Maya Software... //
But never goes past that. Has anyone figured out why this is happening, I need it to render out an animation for school.

Thanks,
Flamez

in the render editor where u choose (software, hardware, mental ray) etc. did u save it in a specific spot, did u specify from what frame to what, make sure of that, and if ur still having trouble go to free tutorials and download render globals, helped me ALOT

Yea i've done everything that im sure most of us can possibly think of, maya software, set to the project folder, frame padding 3, frames 1-100, by fram 1, name#.ext, all that good stuff, the same settings work on my brothers computer, just not mine, i got that tutorial, didnt work, it just never starts rendering, i dont know whats wrong with it, if anyone has any ideas or needs any more specifications, just let me know and i'll be more than happy to post them, i really wanna get this fixed

Someone else was having a similar problem that turned out to be conflict with the anti-virus program. Don't if yours is the same cause, but it might worth looking into.

I have zone alarm on my computer, that might be it, because it does ask for access when it opens, i will try to uninstall it or get rid of it, but i dunno if thats it.

Edit: No its not zone alarm, i just turned off everything, and then shut it down, and still doesnt render.

I had the same problem. I fixed it by going to the Render Global Settings abd then under the common tab changing the frame padding to 3.

Hope this helps

Edit: Oops just noticed you already have it set to 3.

Note to self, must learn to read.

I did, i shut it off completely, turned off all of its features, so it doesnt ask for it, and it still didnt work.

Stupid question but have you dbl-checked that any of your cameras are ticked on as "renderable" (in the att editor)?

is it only when you batch render? or can you render interactively? Also try a batch render from the command line rather than from within maya. Is this on every scene you try to render?
