Does Deadline work with modo 501?

Hey everyone. First post here. I just got a new gig at a shop that is using Deadline. I sometimes like to use modo to render quick shots. I would love to be able to render these on Deadline. I’m using modo 501. I think I have everything set up correctly but in the one test I did, Deadline picked up the scene, but it just kept crashing out. So my first two questions are…

Will Deadline work with modo 501?
and is there a way to see a log of what the render is doing so maybe I can diagnose it myself.

Cheers!

Deadline 5.0 (which should be out in a week or two) will ship with modo 501 support out of the box, and we have made significant improvements to the plugin (like logging render output).

Cheers,

Thanks Ryan, after browsing the forum a bit. it looks like there have been several attempts to make Deadline and modo 501 play nice. Do you know of any successes? I was just looking at Some threads and noting that it looks like there is a little coding that needs to happen. I was hoping someone would point me in the general direction, So I know where to get started. Or are you saying I shouldn’t even try until the new version comes out?

Cheers

It might just be best to wait for the new version. If you want access to the beta, just let me know!
