Deadline

Looking for technical help on this.

We are using Deadline 3.0 and trying to render with maya 2009 and are getting this error:

In the MayaCmd plugin configuration, use the Render.exe executable in the Maya bin folder instead of the mayabatch.exe executable. That’s likely the problem here.

the
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2009\bin\mayabatch.exe
be used for the MayaBatch plugin path,

and
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2009\bin\render.exe
for the MayaCmd plugin path,

correct?

Correct!
