maya 7 apparently doesn't look at the mentalrayGlobals.startFrame and mentalrayGlobals.endFrame anymore therefore it was generating an mi file for each frame in every single box before passing just 1 mi to mentalray for rendering.

hope this helps and sorry if it is a repetition.

	Right, that's this posting:

The 102.42a6 upgrade that went out last June has this fix, and others.

	Also, the "submit-maya6" script avoids all that inline mel stuff that
	was typical in the older submit-maya script (which was needed for the
	older releases of Maya.)

	The submit-maya6 script in 102.42a6 is the best script for rendering
	with all versions of maya 6, 7 and up.
