hey guys! deadline 6.1 is out. there are a bunch of things planned that arent in the initial release…we’ve also started the roadmap for 7. i was going to post some things we have planned soon, but if you have any wishlist items send them now before we get too far into development :smiley:

well, part of the 7.0 roadmap is a rerwrite of the logic code and decoupling so we can do stuff like this. if you want to spec it out, it makes it more likely that it would work earlier in the 7.0 ecosystem :wink:

I have 2 mega lists currently close to completion for you.

  1. major/minor & ‘low hanging fruit’ features - some very old, some very new, some easy to achieve, some needing major commitment for v6.1 / v6.2 / v7.x
  2. VRay DBR brain-dump doc, after cross-referencing all DR threads on 4 different forums + my experience of DBR, incl. of course the Chaos Group one.

You dropped the v6.1 beta about a week earlier than I had predicted! So, I’ll probably give beta 1 a once over and then come back to you.

oh no! not a megalist :laughing:

seriously, looking forward to this. i dont know how much we can get to, but i hope many things you want are on the mega-list, or we’ll just throw them into a problem for our future selves to figure out!

i figure we’ve got enough to get to Deadline 10, and thats without even trying! :open_mouth:

I’ve got an idea for the concept of “reaction agents” in the 6.1 node graph but it’s probably too hard to explain through words alone and I’ll mock up some docs for you on it.

In essence they’re just MIMO nodes which are like a cross between events and jobs. And you would configure them as a reaction script. So if you had a field called “Project” and a reaction agent called “Make 1080p Quicktimes w/ slate” then you would setup the reaction trigger to be “Project == ‘Bob’”. Every time you submitted a job with the “Project” == “Bob” deadline would link up the output_path to the reaction agent’s input_path.
