Hi !
I might have found out a way to greatly improve our pipeline, but i am not sure if it is possible.
For each pass and character in our project, we submit a Maya job that output a rib. Then when it is done, we submit the rib job.
What i would need is when i submit a Maya job, that deadline output automatically a rib job with the same setting as the submission, and dependent of this one. (like draft pretty much)
Could that be possible ?
Thanks !
Fred
Which rib renderer are you using? If you’re using Renderman for Maya, there is a Maya job type to export to Rib first and then submit a dependent PRMan standalone job to render them:
thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … Export_Job
If you’re using 3delight, unfortunately we don’t have an automated system in place yet. You would have to modify the submitter to try and do this. Basically, you have to be aware of where the rib files are being rendered to, so that you can pass them on to the dependent rib job that you submit afterwards.
Cheers,
