What’s New In Deadline 6.2.0.21 (Beta 5)

This release fixes a few bugs and adds a few minor features. It also adds support for VRay’s ply2vrmesh tool, and adds the Google cloud plugin.

General Improvements

  • Added Google cloud plugin.
  • Fixed some bugs in the Openstack cloud plugin.
  • Improved error handling in Azure cloud plugin.
  • Fixed some issues with the cloud plugins when images are missing. The issues were mostly with getting all the active instances and cloning instances.

Installer Improvements

  • Repository installer now enters the host name and IP address for the database server if installing the database on the local machine.

Monitor Improvements

  • On OSX Mavericks, when saving job reports in the Monitor, a default file is now shown in the file browser.
  • On OSX, remote commands are no longer sent to the local machine if the remote machine’s IP address can’t be resolved.
  • Added a job right-click script to email the job’s user. It opens up the user’s email address in the default mail client and sets the job name as the subject.

Pulse Improvements

  • Fixed some REST API bugs in the results returned by jobreports and taskreports.
  • If the SubmitJob POST call contains non-string values, they are now converted to strings.

Scripting Improvements

  • Updated ScriptUIExample.py with latest built in controls.
  • The AddControl docs for DeadlineScriptDialog now show all the valid control types.
  • sys.argv is now defined in Deadline’s Python environment (although it’s just an empty string array).
  • Added OpenUrl() function to DeadlineScriptDialog class that can be used to open up a url for a website, local file, mail client, etc.

3ds Max Improvements

  • Fixed Light Cache Mode issue when rendering with VRay.
  • Jigsaw tile names now start at index 0 instead of 1 to align with IDs of the tasks that will be rendering them.

After Effects Improvements

DJV Improvements

  • Fixed some more text cut-off issues.

Draft Improvements

  • Fixed a bug where trying to submit a Draft Job on a SG version that had no user or entity would fail.
  • Changed Draft submitter to pull Draft Template from Task (if available) when called from shotgun.
  • Changed Draft submitter to use python-style %04d frame padding (for Nuke).

Houdini Improvements

  • When submitting IFD export jobs, the dependent mantra jobs are now frame dependent.

Maya Improvements

  • Fixed how the integrated maya submitter sets the output path for vray when the prefix uses the tag.
  • Suppressed some print statements from the integrated startup script during rendering.

Nuke Improvements

  • Browse buttons in integrated submitter now work in Nuke 8.

VRay Improvements

  • Added more default paths for the VRaySpawner plugin.
  • Added Interruptible option to vray dbr submitters.
