Good morning!
New Deadline user – please excuse any bonehead questions. 
Are we still bound by C4D’s multipass render path neuroses? Specifically, I’d like each pass to go into its own dir. Barring that, I’d like ALL passes (main & multi) to go into a “renders” dir. But all I’ve been able to manage is to render the main pass into the same dir as the project file, and the multipasses into a separate dir.
Am I doing it wrong? I’m using R12 – haven’t tried yet with R13. Somebody tell me there’s hope?

Hi Rob,
Because we just use C4D’s command line renderer, there isn’t a way to override how C4D writes out it’s output. The command line app only accepts a main image output path and a multipass output path, so we’re basically tied to that.
That being said, you could probably write either a post job script or an event plugin that could copy the frames to a different location after the render finishes:

thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … teventsdk/
Cheers,
Hi Ryan,
That’s what I figured. Thanks.
