Here is a quick demo showing the workflow for using the different render droplets on my site. PLUS! A very thorough demo and explanation of using Apples Qmaster application that is part of Final Cut Studio for rendering with Maya, After Effects, and Nuke, and some detail on how it works and what it is doing.
Enjoy! Hope this is useful to some people.

I am trying to use "Maya Style Alphas" with mental ray and it works in the editor, but when I try to batch render, the nodes default to off. Is there a way to change the preferences on the actual nodes or a batch command to force the "Maya Style Alphas" option? Maybe a script to force the option?
Again, it is correctly set on the editor (and the local renders are correct, just none of the renders from the nodes.)
Thanks for any help!
