pymel.core.rendering.batchRender

batchRender(*args, **kwargs)

The batchRender command is used to spawn off a separate rendering session of the current maya file. If no mayaFile is specified, it’ll ask you whether you want the current job killed. The batchRender will spawn a separate maya process in which commands will be communicated to it through a commandPort. If Maya is unable to find an available port an error will be produced. Maya will attempt to use ports 7835 through 7844.
