Important information

It is VERY important that you read this section carefully before submitting a scene. It will help you avoid common mistakes.

• Please verify before sending the scene that you have saved it with all the correct parameters. It is the user’s responsibility to provide the scene with every parameters correctly set. The scene will be rendered exactly as you send it.
  
  
• The By frame parameter or others custom frame range inside Maya are not yet supported. To customize frame range, you need to use the “Specify frames” setting of RANChecker V5 or in web interface.
  
  
• For animations: Send between 3 to 15 significant frames in final resolution before sending your whole project.
  For still images with a more than 2k resolution: Send the rendering in a smaller resolution.
  It will help you checking if the final images look as expected and if the cost/time per frame fits your estimations.
  
  
• Video formats (AVI, MOV, MP4…) are not supported. Only image sequences. Please always specify individual frames rendering (with an image file format: .exr, .png, .jpg, .bmp, .tga, etc.) for animations output. We cannot directly render an animation to a video file format due to multiple differences between video formats, codecs et platforms
