Timm Wagener created a little Maya BatchCreator which helps to speed up the Maya batch render creation process. You can download the Maya Batchcreator here.

“I wanted to share a little program I wrote during the last week which is ment to speed up the maya render batch creation process. I decided to write it after my last project for university was an animated short in stereoscopic 3d and writing all the batches by hand took me about much too long.”
