Hello,

I am using the MayaBatch/Mentalray plugin for Deadline to render some 3-D layers. Is there a way to instruct the slave machine to run a custom MEL script located on the network, just prior to starting the render job?

From the documentation, we can set a script option “PreJobScript” in our info file:
PreJobScript= : Specifies a full path to a python script to execute when the job initially starts rendering (default = blank).

… Is there an equivalent tag we can use for raw MEL scripts, instead of python scripts?

Thanks lots!

I think you can just set MEL scripts in the Render options for the scene file.
