GIVEN:
We submit a job to Deadline from within Maya, with the following options enabled…
-Submit Render Layers as Separate Jobs
-Submit Cameras as Separate Jobs
A token is within Maya’s File Name Prefix field.
RESULT:
Within the Deadline Monitor “Tasks” tab we can’t perform any of the following…
-Double-click to open a frame (or select frames from a multi-frame task).
-Selecting a task (or several tasks) and performing a click-and-drag into an image viewer
doesn’t load any frames into the image viewer. RV, for example, throws an error. Other
image viewers fail, likewise.
-Right-click and selecting…
-Explore Output or
-Copy Output path.
The opened dir defaults to the “images” dir within the Maya project, not the proper
“Camera” directory in which the files have been rendered.
-Right click doesn’t show the following item in the menu:
“View . for this frame.”
If we submit with only “Submit Render Layers as Separate Jobs” we don’t have any
problems.
Deadline Version: 5.1.0.46398
FranticX Version: 2.0.0.46397
I don’t know what the current version of our Submit script is. How can I find out?
An “About” menu/button in the Submit script would be handy to debug problems.
