What’s New In Deadline 7.2.0.15 (Beta 6)

This release fixes some bugs, and makes some minor improvements. Support has been added for Clarisse 2.0.

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

  • Fixed a bug that prevented remote shutdown commands from working properly.
  • During housecleaning, completed jobs that need to automatically be deleted or archived are now only cleaned up if there aren’t any pending jobs that are dependent on them in the queue.
  • Fixed a bug in automatic job cleanup where the job would have to be complete for one more day then the setting set in the repository options.

Monitor Improvements

  • When changing plugin info settings that use the multi-line string controls in the Job Properties dialog, the newline characters are no longer changed to semicolons.
  • Copying the selected rows to the clipboard now works in the Cloud list.

Slave Improvements

  • When saving job and slave reports to the Repository, the Slave now makes 3 attempts to copy the report log .
  • Added Slave Settings option to have the Slave use /tmp as the Slave Data Path on Linux instead of the user’s documents folder.

Pulse Improvements

  • When killing separate processes for housecleaning, pending job scan, and repository repair operations, only three attempts are made before moving on, instead of blocking indefinitely.

3ds Max Improvements

  • Fixed a bug in the maxscript that creates the Deadline menu in 3ds Max that could prevent it from showing menus for the 3dsCmd, VRay DBR, and Corona DBR submitters.
  • Fixed the rendering of VRay Raw and Split files which were not adding the Stereo Camera prefix or the StateSet prefix when rendering.
  • Added the ability to use Custom Stereo Camera Rigs in place of the native 3ds Max 2015 Ext / 2016 Stereo Camera Rig. This makes it possible to render Stereo Cameras in all versions of 3ds Max using linked cameras.
  • Fixed a bug with how the Quick Draft settings were initialized in SMTD.
  • Fixed a bug in QuickDraft where some settings were loading “” from the INI file and thus producing wrong submission data if the user never clicked their controls (e.g. “Format”, “Frame Rate” etc).
  • You can now define custom strings for Left/Right/Center file name prefix. Factory defaults are “LE”, “RE” and “CE”, but the user can set them to “left”, “right” and “center” for example, using the “SubmitMaxToDeadline_Defaults.ini” file
  • Preview jobs are no longer submitted if the frame count for the preview job is greater than or equal to the total frame count.

Clarisse Improvements

  • Added support for Clarisse 2.0.

Draft Improvements

  • The Draft event plugin is now enabled by default.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the Draft module sync to fail if there isn’t already a local copy of the Draft module.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented Draft jobs from getting created when using the Draft Template option.

Houdini Improvements

  • Sanitized the paths that are set in the HOUDINI_PATHMAP environment variable for path mapping.
  • Removed a duplicate “Submit Houdini Scene” checkbox in the Houdini Monitor submitter.

Mantra Improvements

  • Path mapping is now done directly on the IFD file again. It was previously switched to using the HOUDINI_PATHMAP environment variable, but that doesn’t work for Mantra standalone renders.

Maxwell Improvements

  • Improved the stdout handler that looks for the “Please check the file exists and its permissions” error message so that it works for all versions of Maxwell.

Maya Improvements

  • Added option to MayaBatch and MayaCmd plugin configurations to suppress warning messages.
  • Fixed a syntax error when enforcing 32 or 64 bit rendering on Windows.

Media Encoder Improvements

  • Fixed a bug that prevented Media Encoder jobs from working with Media Encoder 2015.

NIM Event Improvements

  • When uploading movies to NIM that were created by Draft, movies for each output for the job are now uploaded. Before, only the first was uploaded.

Shotgun Event Improvements

  • Fixed a regression that prevented the Shotgun event plugin from working.
  • The right-click job script to create a new Shotgun version now respects the Frame Padding character in the Shotgun event configuration.
