Batch Render animation With Alembic

[Jolbertoquini]

Hi Guys,

I have again the same problem to render a batch animation at Maya 2015 SP5 and new version of OctaneRender™ for Maya® 2.11.1.

The render view is fine. But soon I try to render batch render, Octane load and send a message as complete.
I had this problem before was the file name I check all fine, all scene, the difference I use a mesh cached with alembic in Maya read this Animation from the Alembic file. I think for some reason the scene with animation baked with alembic and read by Maya to octane doesn't work.

I really need render that animation for one of my clients, I have a bit of time and I still work on but soon I need render a final output soon. If you could give me any advise for it, Should be great. this one image of my scene.

Could you please enable the "Verbose mode" in Octane global settings before starting the batch render, and post here the mayaRenderLog.txt from Maya's project root directory. It's better to delete this file before starting the render, to have the only log from last session in it.

If this is all this log file contains - then it seems not Octane is the problem. As this log does show that mayabatch.exe exited before Octane plugin was even loaded...

The reason is somewhere deeper... At least it is strange that some code during load tries to do something with QT Widget in headless mode...
Could you try to disable the autoload of this VP2.0 renderer and try again?..

Sorry Jim I didn't understand VP2.0 renderer?? I need deactivate the maya software render? I try to switch of the maya vector render but still the same message, could you explain me what I need swicth off or where it is the VP2.0 please sorry for that

[JimStar]

I just don't see in this log anything besides VP2.0 renderer. But unlikely it is the reason, as it looks like it was finished loading, and some code after that tried to create QT Widget.
Unlikely it is Octane plugin, as I just checked in the code - the message "OctaneRender v.2.11.1 - 5.4" appears in the log at the very beginning of the Octane plugin load, so if it were Octane plugin tried to create QT Widget - the message "OctaneRender v.2.11.1 - 5.4" should have been shown in the log before mayabatch.exe exited...

[Jolbertoquini]

...that tried to create QT Widget.

Sorry could explain me what I need to do, for that please.

[JimStar]

Sorry could explain me what I need to do, for that please.

You could disable other plugins to find which of them is the cause.
I've just checked - all works OK on my setup of Maya 2015 SP5 and 5.4 plugin version. So, the only difference here - is some plugin in your setup which tries to create the QWidget in headless "batch render" mode.
