Hi Deadline Community
I am trying to understand why the draft plugin sometimes work and sometimes doesn’t in c4d.
Especially its seems to completely untested with $tokens and render paths, Is that a known limitation?
we usually use a path like this:
./render/$prj/$prj
which means “render into the filepath’s render folder using the tokens …” which seems to work.
but often we need to use takes which then throws deadline off, see error message below
./render/$prj/$prj-$take
