no Rigid Bodies with Mental Ray batch

[pherax]

Hello there,

after searching for help for 3 days now i hope that somebody can help me here

my Problem:

set up a scene with shattering Glass panes
shattered and animated them with ruins 3.1
everything’s fine with mentalray and rendering out of viewport (render current frame)
BUT
when i try to batch render it, the animations don’t show up
i tried to bake all the rigid bodies over the whole animation with the bake-function of the ruins-plug-in as well as with the maya bake-option.
none of those worked;
i disabled the two options under mental ray render settings: Optimize Non-animated Display Visibility and Optimize Animation Detection
none of those worked;

I would be really glad if anybody could help me, cause deadline is approaching :/
however please tell me if u need further information

i’m running maya2011 64bit with ruins 3.1 64bit

regards
pherax

ich lass es mal in englisch da ich die deutschen übersetzungen für die options gar nich kenne^^
sollte ja jeder englisch können hier

hey there,

i finally managed to figure out what was goin wrong...

i gave it a new try to bake the animation with maya's own option, so i took one rigid body grp after the other (important here is to select every single debris), then pick option in bake options "out of channelbox" or similar, select attributes which change and bake the animation.
After that u just have to disconnect all the rigid bodies from the objects, in my case with ruins' own option "disconnect rigid bodies".

and that's it
made me kinda rage but hey

cu soon
