CMD line render question

[Papaya]

A question about rendering...

Is there a way to have one file render, and after it is done, start another one automatically?? Say a flag, or some sort of command or mel script that will do this??

Any help please! Rendering for my final, so I'm sure you all understand.. :roll:

Sounds like you want to batch render. I'm a max user so I can't help with the specifics (just replying because this sounded urgent)...try looking up batch rendering in your help files.

:D I do sound a little desperate, hum? lol

Thanks very much Jenn I will look it up to see if it works. If not, well... I guess I'll be back!

Ok, so I figured out how to make a batch file to render multiple files. Yay!!! But not I am having problems rendering render passes/layers.

the syntax for the render layer pass is
-rl <boolean|name>

so i used -rl 1|fairy

fairy being the name of my render layer. But this doesn't work!! Does anyone know what the correct syntax is??

HELP PLEASE!!!
:eek:
