Unable to batch render rig in Maya

When we've tried to batch render animations specifically with VRay in Maya, the rigs no longer work, even though they are fine when doing local renders within the Frame Buffer.

Everything else is fine in the batch renders, but it's coming out looking as if we don't have Rapid Rig installed, even though we all do. Does anyone know if batch rendering is possible or if there's an extra step we need to take?

Thanks

Hi, I don't have a V-Ray license, so I am unable to test this myself.

Do you know if the mesh batch renders properly in Maya Software or Arnold?

Can you describe exactly what is happening? Is the model not moving?

Are you only using Maya skinning? Or are you using other deformers like delta mush?

Are you rendering locally or on a farm?

I am trying to think what the issue could be, because I have not had issues with Maya Software or Arnold.

Talked to the team, seems as though they've had issues with batch rendering with maya 2.0 and Arnold also. It seems that when a hand or foot control has IK turned on, that limb breaks during a batch render. However, if rendering individual frames or using Render Sequence the limb renders normal. We are all rendering locally. They said they're only using Maya skinning, but they don't think that's the issue since it works fine when the animation is baked down to the joints. (the IK is still affected though, baking doesn't fix the issue) The file I'm working on, the batch render result looks exactly how the file did before I got rapid rig installed. Once I got it installed and opened the file it looks correct in the viewport, but only reverts back in the batch render. For an example, the feet of a character are correctly planted on the ground, but in the batch renders they are lost inside the body, no longer anchored. Thanks for helping! Let me know if you need more information.
