Does a mel api exists for arnold, especially for th arnoldRender command ?

I wonder know the mel arguments for arnoldRender command to render a Maya scene with.

Thank you

No, there's no formal MEL api for MtoA.

For the arnoldRender command (which is implemented in C++ as a custom Maya command), check the Quick Help in the script editor.

With the mtoa plugin loaded, you can use:

help arnoldRender;

Which will print out the supported argument options.

There are slim pickings though. Most annoyingly it doesn't have an argument to give it a target file name, nor does it return the name of a created file.
