C4D and Deadline 8

Hello

We’re having some issues with Cinema 4D (R17) and Deadline 8. Maya renders are all working as expected, and the scenes render happily when loaded onto the render nodes. Doesn’t seem to be renderer-dependent: we’ve tried it with Arnold and Cinema’s own renderer.

Typical log pasted in below.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Tom

Hey Tom,

It looks like this specific issue was fixed recently but didn’t make it into the 8.0.4 release :cry: (will be in the next one though)! In lieu of waiting for the next release you should be able to use this file to solve your errors.

To use this new file in your Deadline Repository:

  1. Navigate to this folder: “[path_to_your_deadline_repo]/plugins/Cinema4DBatch”
  2. Make a backup copy of “Cinema4DBatch.py” located in the folder
  3. Unzip the attached file and copy the included file (“Cinema4DBatch.py”) into the folder
  4. And you’re done!

Let me know how it goes!

Cheers

Thanks Morgan. That’s fixed the errors, but the jobs are now permanently stuck in a ‘Starting up’ status, without progressing to render.

Any more ideas?

Tom

Glad to hear that it fixed the original problem. Regarding the long “Start Up” status though… You’re using path mapping correct? I’m assuming so because that’s where that json error was coming from previously. Are the logs showing any output during this time or are they not printing out anything?

I have a hunch that it’s taking a decent amount of time to do the path-mapping and that the output associated with the path mapping is being buffered (as in, it’s not displaying the results of the path mapping until after it’s done) which makes it look like it’s not doing anything. How long were you waiting for it to change its status? Do you experience this issue with a small scene? If a small scene takes a short time and is fine then it could just be a case of a lengthy path mapping…

Cheers

I’m trying to render a tiny test scene. The frames should take a few seconds to render; I’ve been waiting for over an hour for the results.

We are using Path Mapping, yes. As I mentioned earlier, our Maya installs are rendering perfectly – so it seems to be configured correctly. I’ve also rebooted the machine that Pulse runs on.

Thanks

Tom

Yeah, that definitely doesn’t sound good :frowning:. I’ll log an issue for this so we can get this fixed.

Would you mind attaching your test scene and the log associated with the job when it’s stuck in Start Up? Sample scenes like this (even if they’re not hard to make) that are confirmed to exhibit the problematic behaviour go a long way in helping us identifying and fixing the issues :wink:.

Thanks!

Sure. Here’s the test file.

Not much in the way of logs, because it doesn’t get that far. Sample pasted in below.

Thanks

Tom

Thanks Tom! :smiley:

Hope to have some good news about this soon. Seems that you’re not the only one experiencing this either. In the meantime, you could try the non-batch plugin for C4D. Assuming something similar doesn’t happen, then you can use that until this particular error with C4D batch is resolved.

Cheers

Hey Tom,

So I may have some good news for you. One of the other developers was able to reproduce the error and believes to have solved the problem. If you’re up for it, you can try using this version of the Cinema4D batch plugin. If not, no worries, as it should be out in an upcoming release.

Note: This has you replacing the folder, instead of just the one file. If this doesn’t solve the issue, just put the backup, that you’ll make, in place of this new plugin. To use the new plugin:

  1. Navigate to this folder: “[path_to_your_deadline_repo]/plugins”
  2. Make a backup copy of the “Cinema4DBatch” folder located in this folder (ie. rename to “Cinema4DBatch - Old”)
  3. Unzip and place the attached folder (“Cinema4DBatch”) into the plugins folder
  4. And you’re done!

Let us know if this works for you!

Cheers

Thanks Morgan … no attachment, though?

Oops, silly me :blush: I knew I forgot something :laughing:
Cinema4DBatch.zip (11.3 KB)

That works! Thank you.

Tom

I have just run up my Deadline8 system and was testing with C4D v16 and getting the Python script errors.

I tried replacing the “Cinema4DBatch” folder in the repo as advised in this thread but am now getting a syntax error instead of the json/python error.

Is there a new version of Deadline I should be updating to rather than just updating the Batch folder in the repo?

Hi,

Can I have you upgrade your Deadline repo and client installs to 8.0.5 which just released earlier this week? This version should have this fixed.
