Auto assign limit groups to job types

Deadline
1

Hi guys, along with everything else I’m posting here’s another

I’m looking for a way to automatically assign limit groups with job submissions.

I see there is an automatic sanity check for maya
http://www.thinkboxsoftware.com/deadline-5-maya/#Custom_Sanity_Check

running this mel script seems to work but how do I stick this automatically into the submission launcher? I tried cutting and pasting it and also putting it in brackets but it just seems to fail.

I’d like it to auto recognise which render it’s using before calling the submission script and then assign the relevant limit group.

Is it a case of adding another button to the shelf or can I incorporate this into the deadline submitter form?

I also want to do this with Nuke, C4D and AE so assuming I can

Again I’m sorry for all the questions, I just have a lot to do in a short time!

thanks

Ant

You should be able to do this in the custom sanity check. Can you post your script for us to take a look at?

You should be able to do this for Nuke too, but AE and C4D don’t support the custom sanity check script at this time. However, there’s nothing stopping you from editing those scripts directly (or making copies and using those instead).

The Sanity mel script works fine, I just want to incorporate it into the submission button.

I’m using the script straight from your webpage, the groups are called the same vray_for_maya mental_ray_for_maya

As long as you name the script appropriately (based on the docs), and drop it into \your\repository\submission\Maya, it should automatically run when you click on the submission button in Maya. There isn’t anything extra you should have to do. If this doesn’t appear to be working, post your script and we’ll test it out here.
