Introduced

Description
Renders a sequence of frames from the specified passes, or the current pass, if none specified.
A render pass creates a picture layer of a scene that can be composited with any other passes to create a complete image.
This command can optionally accept a start frame and an end frame to render to override the pass settings. If no start frame or end frame is provided the command uses the default settings from the pass (which can be either a sequence or a set of frames).
Scripting Syntax
RenderPasses( [Passes], [StartFrame], [EndFrame], [StepFrame], [Verbose] )
