Maya Batch Render AOV files empty !!

[onrbzc]

Hey Guys,

After batch rendering in Maya, the AOV files are empty, and the EXR files are missing. How can I fix this ? in Arnold Setting all looks fine. I tried everything but it's still not working.

Thank you for your answers in advance

Yes but Mspeer couldn't find a solution for that issue so I want the post to remain open. I don't know what can I say to them ? 😕 

[damaggio]

Referencing the files didn't work?

Did you see any errors messages in the script editor?

You haven't uploaded the file in the previous post.

It's always good to try closing a post whenever possible to help others in the community.

I guess you already did it, but for the people here, could you post the Info-verbosity-level Arnold log ?

[onrbzc]

Unfortunately It didn't work out. But I am gonna try today and send the script editor message and update Mspeer today. Sorry about that. I didnt know to try closing the post.

Nothing was rendered because the batch render aborted.

00:00:26 4821MB ERROR | aborting render because this is a batch render and abort_on_license_fail option is enabled

No matter what kind of license you have, Arnold has to be registered

00:00:26 4821MB | [clm.v2] SERVICE (4): this product has not been registered with the licensing service yet

So, open the Arnold License Manager from the Arnold menu in Maya.

From there, you can register Arnold, and then sign in (if you have a single-user subscription)

Thank you so much, I can't thank you enough. I've been working on this for hours and it never occurred to me that I needed to log back into Arnold.
