Batch Rendering Occlusion Pass

[pmaric]

Hello Everyone!

 

I am trying to batch render stills for an animation, and have a color and ambient occlusion pass. When I batch rendered other projects, the color and occlusion passes would both be in my images folder. For some reason, the color pass batch rendered but not the occlusion pass on my last project.

 

Is there a way to batch render just the occlusion pass without redoing the color pass? I'm using Maya.

 

Thanks!

Did you double check the path it is saving to, and make sure that the element is active?

Thanks Travis!

 

The path that it was saving to was correct, but the occlusion layer was inactive which resulted in it not rendering.

 

Once I checked the 'R' in the render layers, the occlusion layer batch rendered.

 

Learned my lesson...double check the render layers are all active before batch rendering.
