Trouble with arnold

[Anonymous]

Hello, so I'm relatively new to Maya, but during the last few weeks when I've been using it, Arnold renderer was working fine. Now when I try to open options for render current frame, batch render, or render sequence, I get an error like this:
// Warning: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2020/scripts/others/renderOptions.mel line 19: Renderer "arnold" does not provide render options.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi!

There are no such options for Arnold, simply don't try to open the options window.

If you want to change any Arnold settings, then please open the Render Settings window instead.

@mspeer Okay thank you. One thing though, where do I select the file output for the render? I couldn't find it anywhere in the Arnold render settings, and that's why I was trying to open options. Maybe I just missed it.

Hi!

You can find the file output in Render Settings:

Common > File Output > ...

Thank you! I thought that meant just the name of the save and not the actual location. It makes sense now.

Cheers,
