Command line rendering with Arnold

[Anonymous]

Does anybody know how to setup command line rendering for 2018 w/ Arnold?I have a huge single frame rendering I’m doing and need to render in segments because the program crashes when I do it at once. I’ve done it with Mental Ray but I don’t see the commands for Arnold.

If you're rendering a Maya scene, then you use the render command.

render -r arnold -h

or

Thanks!  It works just like Mental Ray, except I can't get the progress flag to work.  Prior I used '-v 5' to see % complete. is there a corresponding flag for Arnold?
