Draft cannot handle deep render elements

[DaDiceman]

Hello Thinkbox,

We already filed a ticket for this (support.thinkboxsoftware.com/ti … p?id=20059), but since it’s a pretty important topic for us I figured I bring it up here in the forum as well.

For one of our current projects, on certain frames we run into very long render times (48+ hours). Luckily with Deadline this isn’t a big problem as we can just use multi-region rendering. However we encountered a problem with the Draft stichting job. It seems like Draft cannot handle deep render elements. All other render outputs are handled correctly and the results are great. This feature is a huge help for us.

On the ticket mentioned above you’ll find a sample file, but we are happy to provide further data if needed.

Any further information is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Christian

Hey Christian,

Assembling support for deep exrs has been added to the wishlist, but we’re unable to give a definitive ETA at this point. We’ll be doing some preliminary investigating first to figure out how much work will be involved, and then from there we should have a better idea of where this fits in our roadmap.

Cheers,
Ryan
