What’s New In Deadline 7.2.0.14 (Beta 5)

This release fixes some bugs, and makes some minor improvements. Support has been added for Cinema 4D 17, Houdini 15, and Realflow 2015.

Note that a new 7.2 license is required to run this version. If you have a license for Deadline 7.1 or earlier, you will need an updated license. In addition, the version of Draft that ships with Deadline 7.2 needs a new 1.4 license. If you have a license for Draft 1.3 or earlier, you will need an updated license.

General Improvements

  • Added the ability to allow the HOME directory to be set when running a job as the job’s user. This can be configured in the User Security section of the Repository Options.

Monitor Improvements

  • Fixed a bug that could prevent the Import Settings option from working properly.
  • The Job Candidate filter in the Slave List now takes the Job Dequeuing Mode setting into account.
  • Renamed the ‘Region’ column in the Cloud Panel to ‘Cloud Region’.
  • Added a ‘Region’ column to the Cloud Panel that represents the physical region the instance exists in, as provided by the provider.
  • Added a Private IP column to the Cloud Panel.
  • Fixed a bug in how the Cloud Panel obtains the Public IPs.

Slave Improvements

  • The slave now logs the Job Dequeuing mode it’s using when searching for jobs.

Balancer Improvements

  • Fixed an “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” error when the Balancer is running without a user interface.

3ds Max Improvements

  • Added popup ignorer for 3dsMax “MaxScript Debugger” for Japan, Korean & Simplified Chinese OS languages.
  • Updated 3dsMax / 3dsCmd version dictionary with Max 2016 sp1 entry.
  • Added support for latest Corona v1.2.1 renderer options to 3dsmax plugin.
  • Exposed sticky/default capable setting in SMTD to enable/disable all renderer specific caching files from being added to Monitor right-click output menu.
  • Updated Mental Ray, Corona & VRay renderer specific output caching files to only be exported if they are in “Write” mode (ie: being created).
  • Updated SMTD to handle renderer specific cache files which are automatically padded.
  • Fixed issues with Stereo Camera support in SMTD.
  • Increased the size of the SUBMIT button in SMTD.

Cinema 4D Improvements

  • Added support for Cinema 4D 17.
  • Improved progress handling in the Cinema 4D plugin.

Draft Improvements

  • The Quick Draft python script is now submitted with the Draft job. This ensures the job will find the script if the Repository path is different across different machines.
  • Improved how Draft handles duplicate output file names from the same job.

Houdini Improvements

  • Added support for Houdini 15.
  • Path separators for the Houdini scene file, output file, and IFD file are now switched to “/” to avoid potential issues.
  • The sim tracker python process is now started up on the node that picks up the first task of an HQueue simulation job. This allows all nodes working on the same simulation to communicate with each other.

Maya Improvements

  • Fixed a permissions issue that could prevent the MayaBatch plugin from accessing the melscript file that Deadline creates.
  • The MayaBatch plugin now sets the start and end frame correctly for VRay jobs, which addresses a Layer Override issue that could cause the frame list to be set incorrectly.

modo Improvements

  • The Modo DBR submitter installer now works properly. Before, it was trying to copy files from the wrong folder.

Nuke Improvements

  • The integrated submitter now uses Unicode encoding for the job submission files.
  • Added option to Monitor submitter to specify write nodes to render (separate multiple names with a comma).

Realflow Improvements

  • Added support for Realflow 2015.
  • The Realflow submitter installer now works properly for Realfow 2014.

Softimage Improvements

  • The “Use Batch” option is now enabled by default in the Monitor submitter.
  • Version 2015 is now selected by default in the Monitor submitter.
  • Fixed a tooltip typo in the Monitor submitter.

TVPaint Improvements

  • Added alpha option to the Monitor submitter.
  • Script Jobs now have access to Deadline render variables.
  • Added TIFF export format, and fixed the SUN format type.

Vue Improvements

  • Fixed the default paths to the render node executable for Vue 2014 and 2015.
  • Added an option to override the output path in the Vue submitter.

ftrack Event Improvements

  • Updated ftrack API version to 3.1.5.

Shotgun Event Improvements

  • Improved how frame padding is handled by the Shotgun event plugin (ie: the “%0#d” format is now supported).

OpenStack Cloud Plugin Improvements

  • Updated Start, Stop, and Reboot functionality so that it works properly with the latest version of OpenStack.
