This page provides information about submitting render jobs to Chaos Cloud from V-Ray for Maya.
Overview
Submitting render jobs to Chaos Cloud can be done easily and directly from V-Ray for Maya's interface. This page walks you through the steps of doing so.
Chaos Cloud requires the installation of the Chaos Cloud Client application. For more information, please visit the Installation of Chaos Cloud Client page.
If you add a new version of a job you have already submitted, its upload will be much quicker than the initial upload. Chaos Cloud compares every new job to the existing ones, and if there is a match the client app will upload only the changes. This is useful when you make a new iteration of an existing scene and is why it's recommended to keep your jobs in Chaos Cloud while you are still working on them.
Submitting Render Jobs
V-Ray for Maya provides in-built integration with Chaos Cloud, allowing you to submit render jobs to the cloud directly from Maya, using the dedicated Render in Chaos Cloud button. The button is located on the V-Ray Shelf and can also be found in the V-Ray Menu.
Clicking on the 
button will open the Submit to Chaos Cloud window.
Submit to Chaos Cloud
The Submit to Chaos Cloud window allows you to choose how to submit your scene to Chaos Cloud.
Clicking on Export and Submit will export the scene and submit it to the cloud for rendering. You will be prompted to finalize some of the settings for the render job in a web browser before it starts rendering in Chaos Cloud.
You can choose to do all final settings directly in Maya and then submit the scene to Chaos Cloud with the Enable Direct Submit Options button.

In the Layer and Camera panel you can specify a render camera from the current layer. Note that you can only choose a renderable camera from the current layer.
The Login Information panel allows you to select a project where the render job is submitted. The Manage Login button will take you to your Chaos Cloud account should you need to do any changes.
Abort on Warnings – When enabled, the scene will not be submitted to the Chaos Cloud if there are any warnings during the scene processing, such as missing textures or other assets.

If there are free resources in the cloud, Chaos Cloud will start rendering your job immediately. If there are no free resources, your job will join a queue and will start rendering automatically when resources become available.
Alternatively, render jobs can also be submitted through the Standalone Chaos Cloud application and any command-line interface. For more information please visit the Submitting render jobs to Chaos Cloud page.
