No worries. I haven’t tried it on Maya. I seem to recall when I was grumbling to Graham about it a few years back he did mention that it was across the board I could be wrong though.

When you load each scene you have to press OK this many times to the dialogue box that says its been created in a student version. Absolute hindrance. Got a fix but its a good 20 minute fix per shot just to be able to render... Hate asking this but I wonder if this is the the same with Maya? If so, I shall definatley need to start looking at our licensing.

The EDU, Commercial and the Free Student version all had interop issues. The worst begin the contamination from the free version. What we do now is allow the students to bring in their own workstations and we lend them a licences for the duration of the course. That way we ensure that we are all on the same version,. Its bloody stupid that we have to do that . But its the only way we could practically not run into batch render issues. <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;"> <tr> <td align="left" style="text-align:justify;"><font face="arial,sans-serif" size="1" color="#999999"><span style="font-size:11px;">This communication is intended for the addressee only.
