I am having an odd problem and I have no idea where to look.
This problem had occurred on two systems, one with Windows 11 and one with Windows 10.
I use Maya 2022.4
And I believe Arnold 5.3.1.1 (that's what the plug in version says) anyway it is the latest version of Arnold I could find.
The issue is as following,
If I render in the render view then everything looks correctly and works.
If I press Render -> batch render then the displacements looks as if turned off.
My coworker who used to run these files didn't have this problem at all and we both use the same versions etc.
I have reinstalled "Arnold for Maya on Windows" but the problem still consists.
Even opened an old scene my coworker was working on before I even touched the files and again same result.
Render view shows the displacement working properly.
Batch render the displacement doesn't load it at all, no errors nothing in the log nothing. Nothing that looks out of place.
Is there some local setting that I am forgetting about?
Something that isn't saved in the scene files?
