    . With a scene loaded in Maya XSI choose "Submit Render Job..." or "Submit Batch Render..." depending on your requirements.

     

    Info
    titleRender vs Batch Render

    What's the difference?

    Submit Render will open a copy (instance) of XSI on the Worker that picks up the job, and that instance will render frames as assigned by the Supervisor. Since the scene file is only being opened one time, this can be faster to generate the full sequence.

    Submit Batch Render will use the command line to open a new instance of the XSI file for each frame that it renders. Although this can be slower for large scenes, it can also be more flexible in large, complex environments.
