What’s New In Deadline 7.2.0.18 (Release Candidate 2)

This release fixes some bugs, and makes some minor improvements. This should be the final build of 7.2.

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 in Repository Repair that could cause it to remove a Limit Stub for a Slave that’s still using the Limit.
  • Enabling the Set HOME Variable setting in the Repository Options now affects the main rendering process started by render plugins.
  • Fixed a KeyNotFoundException exception that is shown when showing database stats for an empty collection.

Monitor Improvements

  • The Lock View menu item in the job dependency view is now toggled on when the Lock Button in the dependency view toolbar is toggled on.

Balancer Improvements

  • Improved how the default balancing logic handles pre and post job tasks.
  • Improved how the default balancing logic handles concurrent tasks.

Command Improvements

  • The ExecuteScriptNoGui command’s help message is now printed out properly by deadlinecommand.

Scripting Improvements

  • Added a check when submitting a job using the standalone Python API so that if a string is passed instead of a list of aux files the string can still be used.
  • Fixed a regression where the MultiLineMultiFolderBrowserControl and MultiLineMultiFileBrowserControl controls in a render plugin’s .options file would separate multiple paths with new lines instead of semicolons.

3ds Max Improvements

  • Added FumeFX sanity checks to SMTD.
  • Added Pre and Post Render Script options to the integrated and Monitor submitters for 3dsCmd.
  • Added render flags for all bitmap parameters to the 3dsCmd Monitor submitter.
  • Fixed a bug in the 3dsCmd submitter installer that tried to install the start script into the 2015 install directory when installing for 2016.

Hiero Improvements

  • The integrated submitter now works properly on Windows 8 and later.
  • Improved the error messages when Hiero can’t load the Quick Draft configuration files.

Maya Improvements

  • The Maya plugin will now fail renders when “Error: OctaneRender is not activated!” is printed to stdout.
  • The integrated submitter now properly handles frame ranges with negative frames.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented the MayaBatch plugin from working with Redshift 1.2.95 and later.

modo Improvements

  • The integrated modo and modoDBR submitters for modo 901 now work properly on Windows 8 and later.

Nuke Improvements

  • When parsing for project sequences in Nuke Studio, the integrated submitter now collects all root level and nested sequences. Before, it just collected root level sequences.

VRay Improvements

  • Added Cinema 4D R16 and R17 support to VRay Spawner/Standalone plugin.

VRED Improvements

  • Tweaked the size of the integrated submitter and added tooltips.

OpenStack Cloud Plugin Improvements

  • Added support for Networks to the OpenStack plugin.
