Thanks a lot for all the hard work and new features that came to Deadline (among other things) and I’d like to wish a very happy and successful New year to everyone at Thinkbox and also to everyone here at the forums!
By the way, if you forgive the shameless plug 
, since Deadline 5.1 is a lot about the Shotgun integration, allow me to show you our own plugin developed specifically for talking to softwares such as Shotgun, Tactic, and basically anything based on the Python API - duberPython, directly inside 3ds Max: http://blog.duber.cz/software/shotgun-and-3ds-max-practical-example
Thank you again and all the best to everyone!
