Hi I found a problem with the vray frame buffer in vray for maya. When the use vray frame buffer attribute is on in the scene, when rendering with the maya batch plugin I get this strange error:
[code]0: WARNING: Detected popup dialog “Render history settings”.
0: WARNING: ---- dump of dialog ----
0: WARNING: Button: …

Scheduler Thread - Render Thread 0 threw an error:

So I forced the attribute to off in the plugin, I modified the GetStartFrameCommand() function to add the vfbOn attribute to off:
def GetStartFrameCommand( self ):
[...]
elif self.Renderer == "vray":
return 'setAttr "vraySettings.startFrame" ' + self.StartFrame + '; setAttr "vraySettings.animation" true;setAttr "vraySettings.vfbOn" 0;'
[...]
return ''
