Is there an easy way to submit a vray standalone render from within Maya? I have been able to get vray for maya to work fine, but we have more vray render licenses than maya licenses that I need to use.
Turn on the option "Always show all available renderers" in the submitter so that you can select the V-Ray Standalone renderer when submitting from within Maya.
This is not a bug or anything; the Maya integration script is made to submit Maya scenes and not to export anything to another format. You'd have to modify the script for this to work.
