What’s New In Deadline 6.2.0.26 (Release Candidate 2)

This is the second release candidate for 6.2, and is mostly just bug fixes.

General Improvements

  • Added checks when calculating job statistics to prevent negative values being logged in the stats for ram, cpu, and file size fields.

Monitor Improvements

  • The lists in the Farm Reports dialog now have the context menu to select all and copy.
  • When exporting from the Farm Reports dialog, it now only exports the visible rows and columns.
  • On Linux and OSX, the monitor now strips any Deadline installation folders from LD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH, and DYLD_FALLBACK_FRAMEWORK_PATH when launching a standalone image viewer.

Slave Improvements

  • The slave now adds itself to the job’s bad slave list immediately after the last error occurs. Before, it wouldn’t add it until it tried to dequeue a task for that job again.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented slaves from immediately recognizing if a job’s machine limit has changed from 0 to another value.
  • On Linux and OSX, the slave now strips any Deadline installation folders from LD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH, and DYLD_FALLBACK_FRAMEWORK_PATH when launching the rendering process.

Scripting Improvements

  • Added functions to the DeadlineEventListener class to set environment variables for any processes launched using the existing RunProcess function.
  • Implemented the rest of the file-like interface for the replacement class for sys.stdout and sys.stderr in Deadline’s python engine.

3ds Max Improvements

  • In EndJob for the 3dsmax plugin, it now checks to see if self.MyMaxController is valid before trying to shut down max.
  • In SMTD, added RegionRenderingMode entry to the list of properties so it can have defaults and stickiness.
  • In SMTD, changed the Category of the RegionRenderingMode from TilesRendering to MultiRegionRendering.
  • In SMTD, fixed the preset loading and quick preset loading controls to support Name parameters correctly.
  • In SMTD, removed the filter string part from the quick preset loading code - it should always show all presets.

After Effects Improvements

  • Improved progress handling.

Arnold Improvements

  • Added support for beta and release versions of Arnold (release is the default). This is meant for render farms that need to render jobs from the Arnold 1.0 release and from the pre-release version of Arnold on the same farm.
  • Fixed a PostRenderTasksCallback error in Arnold plugin during cleanup.

Blender Improvements

  • Improved progress handling.

modo Improvements

  • Fixed a bug in the modo plugin that prevented it from setting the output override defined in the Monitor submitter.

Realflow Improvements

  • The Realflow plugin now updates the slave’s task status with useful information during rendering.

Shotgun Improvements

  • Fixed a bug introduced in RC1 that prevented versions from being created when full paths were present.
