What’s New In Deadline 7.2.1.1 (Release Candidate 2)
This release fixes some bugs, and makes 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.
Monitor Improvements
- Removed the Balancer error threshold controls from Repository Options, since they are no longer used (they were previously replaced by Stalled Balancer Detection).
- The Job Reports list now shows the Plugin column. This helps identify reports that were generated by event plugins.
3ds Max Improvements
- Added “Use 3dsCmd Plugin” option to SMTD, allowing VRay/MR off-load jobs to be submitted optionally to the 3dsCmd plugin instead of 3dsmax plugin (the 3dsCmd plugin doesn’t require a 3dsmax workstation license).
- Fixed a regression in SMTD when submitting tile jobs (regression was introduced by the recent stereo cam support that was added).
- Re-included a sanity check in SMTD to see if the “Track Mouse” option is enabled for VRay renders.
- Improved how the timeouts are detected in the 3dsmax plugin, and added minimums to the three timeout options for the 3dsmax plugin configuration.
- Fixed negative frame padding issue in the 3dsmax plugin.
- Added additional maxscript popup handler to the 3dsmax plugin.
- Improved some SMTD log messages after submission.
Cinema 4D Improvements
- The “Take” option, which was introduced in 7.2, can now be empty, in which case no Take is specified at render time.
- Updated the default executable paths to include the Commandline application for C4D R16 and later.
Draft Improvements
- Updated Draft to version v1.4.2.59299.
Maya Improvements
- The MAYA_DISABLE_CIP and MAYA_DISABLE_CER environment variables are now set for the rendering process. Without these, Maya can sometimes take a long time to exit after it finishes rendering.
- When submitting an arnold export job, Deadline now respects the “ASS” file rule in the workspace.mel file (if it’s defined).
- You can now set the Frames Per Task for Renderman export jobs.
- Fixed a regression in the Dirmap Path Mapping feature (introduced in 7.2.1.0) that caused every 2nd mayabatch task to fail.
- Fixed a bug that occurred when submitting tile jobs if Arnold wasn’t the selected renderer.
- Fixed a bug when using Render Layers with Vray to get the correct output names and assemble with Jigsaw properly.
Microstation Improvements
- Updated MicroStation Submitter Sticky and Default settings ini files to turn off sticky on all of the settings we are pulling from the scene and add Light setups to the files
- Updated Microstation Plugin to include LightSetup information.
modo Improvements
- Fixed a syntax error in the modo plugin when it can’t find a valid 32 or 64 bit executable in the executable path list.
- Fixed a Jigsaw bug where it tried to write to a non-existent TEMP folder on Linux and OSX.
Sketchup Improvements
- Updated Sketchup to be able to choose a scene/page when rendering a single image.
Softimage Improvements
- Fixed a syntax error in the SoftimagBatch plugin when it can’t find a valid 32 or 64 bit executable in the executable path list.
