using alfred to render with mental ray in maya

All you need to do is add a new service tag for mentalRay.

So you would have something like -tags {mentalRay}. Then any machines setup
for rendering with mental ray will have the job sent to them.

The service tag is used to specify specifics, such as what machines to
render on. You will have to modify the actual Alfred script RemoteCmd (or
CMD) that you are sending to each machine so that it executes the mental ray
renderer.

Subject: using alfred to render with mental ray in maya

Hi,

I have a script which launches a regular maya batch render with Alfred.
However, I need to modify it to make Alfred launch Mental Ray render
instead.  I think I have to change some of the arguments in Alfred's Job
command.  However, I don't quiet understand the meaning of some flags from
Alfred's documentation.

right now I have this command

Job -title ........ -service {mayaRender} -tags {mayabatch} ......

I think the service tag needs to be changed probably to specify mental ray
but I don't know what to replace it with.  

Where can I get this info?  Does anyone know how to modify this for Mental
Ray?  Also are there any websites about Alfred aside from the documentation
that came with it?

I'll appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.
Elvira
