Problems with Batch Rendering in MtoA - "UI commands can't be run in batch mode"

[kyanetemadi]

Hey,

When I let my computer do a batch rendering, it starts as usual with the message "// Result: Rendering with Arnold Renderer... //" but then I get the message "// Result: Rendering Completed. See mayaRenderLog.txt for information. //" pretty fast and it is not rendering anything.

In the log, I get the error saying:

"Error: file: C:/ProgramData/Autodesk/ApplicationPlugins/MayaBonusTools-2015-2018/Contents/scripts-2018/bonusToolsMenu.mel line 1666: UI commands can't be run in batch mode."

I tried to google it, but dont get any results that help me. I haven't even used any of the bonus tools in my scene. Does anyone had that issue before? Is there a way of beeing able to batch render again?

I don't think that error would stop the render. What else is in the MayaRenderLog.txt ?

yes that error has no deal with render. You can ignore that error. I think that your file is currupted. importing the whole file in to a new maya file and render, might help and Share you render log.

You guys were right: the error was not an Arnold issue. I did what @Girijashankar Senapati suggested and exported the geo into a fresh, new scene. The batch is working now without any error messages. Probably I should have tested that first before opening a thread on this board. Thank you for your help!
