So here I am with a whole new issue. Last week I was working as usual on my scene and wanted to batch render it. It didn't worked out. Status goes from "Rendering with..." to "Render complete" without rendering anything.
Since my settings for the render are very basic I thought there was a problem with my objects or shaders. SO I tried with another scene. Same problem.
So I tried alot of solutions : stopping firewall/antivirus (as suggested on other forums), importing my scene in a new one, changing my settings, setting new shaders, etc.
Finally I created the simplest scene ever : A cube in the middle of nowhere with the native shader on it 'lambert1) and the default settings for the render : still do not work ...
SO this is a huge problem to me and I hope some have good tips to solve it because i am a bit desperate actually. I have straight deadlines to respect and I am blocked with this issue.
As I said my scene is very simple : only polygons with bones and curves rigged, all the materials are lamberts or phongs, sometimes surface shader but for the scene with only the cube there is just poly with lambert and nothing else so I guess it do not depends of my scene and what is in it.
Also, third party software seems not to have any influence on my problem as far as I know, but I maybe wrong.
Here is what my render log says (I had to use MentalRay to increase verbosity level but usually for this project I use maya software to render my scenes) :
