What’s New In Deadline 5.2.48313
This release fixes some issues that have come up since 5.2 was released, and also adds support for some new applications like Cinema 4D 14, Nuke 7, and Rhino 5. Our plan is to do a maintenance release for 5.2 soon to address these issues. If you already have a 5.2 license, a new license is NOT required for this maintenance release.
New Features, Improvements, and Bug Fixes
General Improvements
- The process of creating temporary files in the Repository temp folder to get the system date is now more robust, which should help ensure that these temporary files are cleaned up properly.
Launcher Improvements
- The Launcher service now has a TCPIP dependency, meaning that it won’t start until networking is available.
- When the Launcher service shuts down, it also shuts down the Slave. This ensures that the Slave returns its license before the TCPIP dependency is shut down.
Slave Improvements
- Fixed some auto-configuration bugs.
Pulse Improvements
- Fixed a bug that could cause Pulse to crash if there was an error while the web service was authenticating a user.
Shotgun Improvements
- Fixed some data gathering issues.
3ds Max Improvements
- Removed the Strict 3ds Max Install check from the 3dsmax plugin, since it’s no longer required. This fixes the error regarding the backburner installation for 3ds Max 2013 jobs.
- 3ds Max 2013 jobs now render properly when useUserProfiles is disabled.
- Added a popup handler for a FumeFx.ini dialog.
- Added a popup handler for a Hair High-poly Growth dialog.
Arnold Standalone Improvements
- The -nocrashpopup command line option is now only specified when rendering on Windows.
Blender Improvements
- The integrated submission script now works with Blender 2.63a and later.
Cinema 4D Improvements
- Added support for Cinema 4D 14.
Maya Improvements
- The MayaBatch plugin now catches the “Cannot Load Scene” error.
- Fixed an error when rendering specific render layers with Arnold.
Mental Ray Standalone Improvements
- The job is no longer failed when Mental Ray returns an exit code of 1, which Mental Ray v3.10 returns after a successful render.
Nuke Improvements
- Added support for Nuke 7.
- You can now render the selected write nodes only without having to submit each write node as a separate job.
- When doing Path Mapping, the path separators are now properly set for the original scene file path.
