Hi everyone!
I was wondering if it is possible to write a script for deadline, having it automatically vray denoise frames of a previously rendered job.
It is of course possible to do this manually, but how would one go about getting the output folder and filenames of rendered frames to be input into the vray denoise job?
thanks a bunch!
Hey blenderme,
Another user is attempting a similar thing here by using an event plugin to create their own job (theyâre using Nuke).
What it essentially amounts to is that if your original job has the output filenames in the job, you can access those values in an event plugin (ie. OnJobFinished) using something like this:
...
def OnJobFinished(self, job):
...
# Need to filter out non-applicable jobs
...
# You'd need to submit a VDenoise job for each outputfilename
for outputPath in job.JobOutputFileNames: # A list of the 'OutputFilename's in the job
...
writer = StreamWriter( pluginInfoFilename, False, Encoding.Unicode )
writer.Write( "InputPath=%s" % outputPath )
# Write other applicable info needed...
...
writer.Close()Anyways, that should be enough to get you started. You can also check out the docs on event plugins or you can browse âDeadlineRepository10/scripts/Submission/VDenoiseSubmission.pyâ to see how we create a VDenoise job.
Let us know how it goes!
Cheers
Hi mepp!
I am completely new to phyton. I can do a couple of tricks with Maxscript but I am not a coder. My question is: Are python skills required to do an automatic post job of vray denoise? I simply canât continue from your starting point.
Iâve tried to modify the code of this thread and all I can achieve is execute the script without errors⌠and without denoising xD
I would like to run VRAY Denoise after the drafting job of a tiled rendering. Is there any template, sample or tutorial which I can follow?
Thank you very much for your help 
In case it helps, here is the code (you can have a good laugh 
no problem)
####### START CODE ######
def main( *args ):
def __init__(self):
self.OnJobFinishedCallback += self.OnJobFinished
def Cleanup(self):
del self.OnJobFinishedCallback
def OnJobFinished( self, job ):
# TODO: Connect to pipeline site to notify it that the job for a particular
# shot or task is complete.
jobInfoFilename = Path.Combine( ClientUtils.GetDeadlineTempPath(), "automVRAYDenoise_jobInfo.job" )
writer = StreamWriter( jobInfoFilename, False, Encoding.Unicode )
writer.WriteLine( "Plugin=VDenoise" )
writer.WriteLine( "Name=%s - Automatic VRAY Denoise" % job.JobName )
outputDirectory = job.OutputDirectories[0]
outputFilename = job.OutputFileNames[0]
outputFilename = outputFilename.replace("#","")
outputFilename = outputFilename[:-4]
vrayDenoisePath = "%s\%s.????.exr" % (outputDirectory,outputFilename)
self.LogInfo( vrayDenoisePath )
writer.WriteLine( "Frames=%s" % job.JobFrames )
writer.Close()
# Create plugin info file.
pluginInfoFilename = Path.Combine( ClientUtils.GetDeadlineTempPath(), "automVRAYDenoise_pluginInfo.job" )
writer = StreamWriter( pluginInfoFilename, False, Encoding.Unicode )
writer.WriteLine( "InputPath=%s" % vrayDenoisePath )
writer.WriteLine( "DenoiseMode=Default" )
writer.WriteLine( "SkipExisting=True" )
writer.WriteLine( "DenoiseElements=False" )
writer.WriteLine( "UseGPU=True" )
writer.Close()
ClientUtils.ExecuteCommand( (jobInfoFilename,pluginInfoFilename) )
self.LogInfo("Event Plugin: Complete")
####### END CODE ########
Hey nomte! I think there are some tricky bits from that other thread that might need fixing up.
Specifically, Iâm not sure if the tuple of commands will actually work. Namely this line:
ClientUtils.ExecuteCommand( (jobInfoFilename,pluginInfoFilename) )
Can you change it to look like this:
print ClientUtils.ExecuteCommand( [jobInfoFilename, pluginInfoFilename] )
The two changes here are that it will actually send a Python list (as outlined in the documentation) but also it will print out the result of running the command and will hopefully let us know if it succeeded or failed.
Hopefully that gets us a step or two closer. 
Hi eamsler! Thank you for your answer.
Iâve already made the change but unfortunately no improvements. Iâve check the task log but it looks as simple as before.

Is this the LOG where the Print command dumps the results of execution?
Thanks again
Ah, this looks like the actual render log. The event gets its own job report thatâs separate from this.
Can you check to see that your event is enabled? Youâll find it in âToolsâ then âConfigure Eventsâ in the Monitor while in super user mode.
Hi eamsler,
Thanks for your reply. This weekend Iâve been trying to get to the basics of scripting for Deadline and certainly I need to get some skills before getting into this. Any other thing than an Out-of-the-box solution needs more coding than expected so I better get ready myself.
Thank you very much for your time and your support. Iâll be back with smarter questions
I donât mind pointing you to more information if you need it, so donât feel bad for asking. You never know who might benefit from it.
In case anyone hits this thread, this is the working solution. Better late than never. Probably, it is highly optimizable, any C&C is welcom
