Maya Batch Render Problem

[Anonymous]

I've been looking for a solution to this problem but have only found similar problems but aren't mine. I am trying to do a batch render using Arnold (Using Arnold because of the textures I am using). The batch render also doesn't work using Turtle and I imagine it wouldn't using Maya's rendering software. When i click BATCH RENDER it will only render out the first frame and that is all. However, it will not stop rendering. It will act as if it is still rendering but will refuse to render another frame. I am only trying to render out an animation of a sword doing a 360 rotation across three seconds. I have attached my settings that I am using. These do work because I have batch rendered before using these settings and also other people have as well.

Looking at the settings, the only thing that stands out as potentially problematic is the space in the file name. Spaces in file names are generally not a good idea. I'm not sure if this is the cause of your problem, but I'd try using _ instead of a space in the name...

Oh man, I had a similar problem last year where Maya would only render the first frame like that.  I'll look back in my notes and see if it was the same issue.
