rendering not working :(

Anonymous

Hi

 

I carefully read the docs and made a simple animation translating a sphere. I have one ambient light which should be enough I think to see something.

However I can't get the image sequence when rendering it.

 

However my animation is shown correctly in maya and also in a playblast.

The playblast movie is in the attachment.

 

I tried Arnold and Maya hardware 2.0.

 

The results are different, but I have no idea what's wrong.

 

Arnold:

--------

 

just 1 black image is rendered. See arnold.png

See my settings, why is the "frame range" in arnold not editable?

maya hardware 2.0:

---------------------

 

There is only the LAST image rendered of the image sequence. All previous images are not on my hard drive...

See mayahardware.png

I hope somebody can help me! I'm completely stuck with this and don't know what setting to change or what to do.

In all cases the playblast works perfectly but the image sequence rendering doesn't work.

I use maya 2020.

Latest version of Arnold for maya 2020 is installed by downloading it from autodesk website and installing it.

I use maya 2020.4

Hi!

 

1. The Ambient light is not supported by Arnold. (Try a Directional light.)

2. Check the Render Settings, you have set Frame/Animation  to "Single Frame".
