What’s New In Deadline 7.2.1.0 (Release Candidate 1)

This is a patch release for Deadline 7.2 that fixes a few bugs that were discovered shortly after Deadline 7.2 was released, and adds some minor improvements.

Note that a 7.2 license is still 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.

Here are the highlighted changes.

Cinema 4D Improvements

Updated the integrated submitter to add the option to only submit the Marked Takes.

Houdini Improvements

When merge ROPs are selected for submission, they are simply replaced with their input ROP(s). In addition, dependencies are now properly maintained when merge nodes are used.

HServer Improvements

Fixed typo in SubmitHServerToDeadline.ui file that gets created by Repository installer.

Maya Improvements

The MayaBatch plugin now supports using Maya’s ‘dirmap’ command to perform path mapping before the scene is loaded. In the MayaBatch plugin config, you can choose to enable path mapping, and then choose either the new dirmap mode or the old .ma text replacement mode.
Fixed a bug that prevents the MayaBatch plugin from working with Redshift 1.2.94 and earlier.

modo Improvements

Added a path mapping option to the modo plugin to massage the paths stored within the scene file into something that looks more normal (ie: “/Volumes/share/” instead of “Volumes:share/”). These normal paths are then fed into Deadline’s path mapping system.
