Maya also loads the scene at every frame? I was thinking only 3dsmax had this awful behavior. If they would know how elegant softimage batch rendering actually is…

Anything with simulation or large scenes just jams everything up. I can only really submit to 3 machines. We're using Royal Render.. Any suggestions? Thanks Steve P ------ Softimage Mailing List.
