I was reading a Maya book (yes reading for once) and I came across a page saying about rendering within MS-DOS. This seem to be quite interesting as you don't need to even need to open Maya for the render to work. I was thinking can this be true, so I had a look around on the net and came back with the answer that it does work!
Ive tested this theory out and works a treat!
Now I know this way to render it seem logical to use it as there is no wasted processing and memory loss in running the application.
To render 45 frames only took 3.53 sec
To render 45 frames the normal way to took 4.51 sec
There's only a difference of a min but over the course of 1000 plus frames the time can be cut down a lot.
