Let’s say you need to change the size of your image, and you want to render with mental ray. In the command line type ‘Render –r mr –s 1 –e 125 Concept_Scene_1.mb’, where the ‘-r’ flag specifies which render to use (in this case ‘mr’ for mental ray), the ‘-s’ is the start frame of the animation, and the ‘-e’ is the end frame. <img src="http://cgtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/000_QuickTips/013_Maya_BatchRender/10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 11 Now for a more efficient way of rendering with Windows executable .bat files. These files are made and edited in Notepad. Let’s say that you want to render a file with mental ray. In Notepad write ‘Render –r mr Concept_Scene_1.mb’ and save the file, but make sure in the end of the name to put ‘.bat’, so that the file can save in a .bat format. <img src="http://cgtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/000_QuickTips/013_Maya_BatchRender/11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 12 Put the .bat file in the same folder as the file you want to render, and double click it to run the batch renderer. <img src="http://cgtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/000_QuickTips/013_Maya_BatchRender/12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 13 Using .bat files is great when you need to render several scenes that are in different directories. And what’s more, you can put different flags for each scene. It doesn’t matter where you put the .bat file, because the directories are listed within it. Also, the scenes will render consequently. <img src="http://cgtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/000_QuickTips/013_Maya_BatchRender/13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 14 With the ‘-rd’ flag, you can specify in which directory your files are going to be rendered. <img src="http://cgtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/000_QuickTips/013_Maya_BatchRender/14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 15 The ‘-rd’ flag can also be used for multiple files at the same time. <img src="http://cgtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/000_QuickTips/013_Maya_BatchRender/15.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 16 Another highly useful flag is the ‘-cam’ flag, which lets you specify which camera to render from the scene. <img src="http://cgtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/000_QuickTips/013_Maya_BatchRender/16.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 17 You can render as many cameras as you like from the same or different scenes, and also put different flags to make it even more efficient. <img src="http://cgtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/000_QuickTips/013_Maya_BatchRender/17.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 18 Rendering different cameras is even better when combined with the ‘-rd’ tag, so each camera will be output into a different folder <img src="http://cgtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/000_QuickTips/013_Maya_BatchRender/18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 19 Remember that you can combine as many flags as you want to speed up your renders, and then you can view the commands when you type ‘Render –h’ in the command line. <img src="http://cgtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/000_QuickTips/013_Maya_BatchRender/19.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 20 Some final useful tips for rendering from the command line: Don’t use spaces in the name of the files always put an ‘_’ instead; Make sure that the .bat files are saved with their extension after the name; If you want to stop the render process, just close the command line. <img src="http://cgtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/000_QuickTips/013_Maya_BatchRender/20.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  Don’t miss</blockquote>
