Does Deadline read or handle the By Frame att correctly ?

Deadline

Maya 2009
Deadline 3.1

I’m doing some slow-mo 3d footage and usually I achieve this by upping the By Frame attribute in the render settings under the common tab. Normally this setting is at 1 for 1 file per frame. Once i change that to something like .1 to get 10 files per frame deadline ignores this and goes on rendering as if the setting was 1. If i try to override using the additional commands line it works but the sequence is, well “jacked up”, is the technical term I believe.

Can anyone confirm or dispute this?

Cheers,

Hi Bruce,

Deadline currently doesn’t handle using non-integer by frames like 0.1. There is an option to render half frames (uses 0.5), but that’s it at the moment. I imagine we could do something like have each task represent a frame step (ie: frame 1 represents 0.1, etc). We’ll put it on the wish list.
