Quick step-by-step to create clickable .app to launch your python scripts.
On Windows, sometimes Nuke and Maya fights over resources, especially the CPU. This can become apparent when background rendering with Maya.
Out of the box, V-Ray for Maya does not render Z-depth the same way Nuke does. Here’s a quick fix for that (not applicable for most DOF plugins).
Running V-Ray for Maya in a production environment has its quirks. I have collected some bits and pieces off the Chaos Group forum and assembled it all here.
Some facts about the camera which are easy to forget as well some notes to self.
