Deadline 2.7 XSIBatch / Mental Ray Verbosity

Deadline
1

Hi,



Somewhere in our upgrades to Deadline 2.7 and XSI 6.02 we’ve lost PROG level verbosity in our XSI output to Deadline. We get INFO and ERROR.



-verbose 60 is being passed along to the AdditionalRenderOptions.vbs script. Is there another flag or somewhere else verbosity is controlled/overridden.





Thanks,

Hi Paul,



The verbosity level is hardcoded in the RenderArgument.ffs file, which

can be found in \your\repository\plugins\XSI. Look for this line, and

change ‘60’ to whatever number you want:



" -main SetAdditionalRenderOptions -args -verbose 60" …



In the old render options (prior to XSI 6.01, when they changed

everything), we were passing “prog” as the verbosity level. We thought a

verbosity level of 60 was the equivalent, but it looks like we were

wrong. Let us know what the better verbosity level is, and we’ll log a

bug report to get it changed.



Thanks!
