Hey pals,
Submitting to Deadline from Cinema 4D and I’ve run into a issue that I can’t tell if is a Redshift problem or a Cinema problem or a Deadline problem.
Typically I’d been submitting as Cinema jobs, but now I want to start baking out .rs files at submission time using the Deadline submission script and rendering those instead.
From within Cinema, Redshift is set to write the image to “…/_renders/c4d/$prj/$prj-”. This works when submitting as a Cinema job, but not as Redshift job.
When rendered as Redshift job, Deadline reports that the file renders correctly and is then written. But as the relative path is meaningless on its own, Redshift simply saves the file into the ether.
I tweaked the Deadline submission script to convert the path to be absolute and prefill the .rs file dialogue, and hoped to be able to forward that same string on to the image outputput that gets baked into the .rs, but I can’t figure it out.
Does anbody have a suggestion for how I can get an absolute path to be written into the .rs file, or how I can have Deadline forward the absolute path to the .rs without having to change the existing relative file workflow?
