Each camera task in the Batch Render dialog is passed to the Network Job
Assignment dialog as an individual rendering job instead of a single job. By
default, the Network Job Assignment dialog uses the name of the MAX file as
its job name, and it then appends the name of the camera task. For example,
if you have a scene named Athena_High_Rise and camera tasks for three
cameras, the jobs will look like this in the monitor: Athena_High_Rise Camera02
View01, Athena_High_Rise Camera01 View02 and Athena_High_Rise Camera01
View03.
Export to .bat Creates a batch file for command line rendering. This button
opens the Batch Render Export To Batch File dialog where you can specify a
drive location and name for the batch file that is saved.
Render Starts the batch rendering process or opens the Network Job
Assignment dialog if Net Render is turned on.

Rendering menu > Batch Render > Click Render to render tasks that do not
have an output path set.
Rendering menu > Batch Render > Click Render to render tasks that could
overwrite previously saved files.
The Batch Render Warning dialog informs you of certain conditions you may
have overlooked while assigning the rendering tasks. The dialog that displays
is context-sensitive, meaning that the warning will indicate when either of
these two conditions exist:
■ When you risk overwriting an existing file or if you have not specified an
output path and output file name.
■ When the output path that was specified has been renamed or no longer
exists.

Task Queue
Both formats of the Batch Render Warning dialog include the Task Queue
columns that are shown in the in the Batch Render dialog. The key difference
is the exception of the check boxes that let you specify which cameras are use
in the render. This Task Queue only shows the cameras that may overwrite a
