Draft QuickSubmission failing

Hi,

i’m not 100% sure whether this is the right place since there’s also a Draft subforum. But as it’s the Deadline 7.2 beta i thought i’ll post it here first.

I’m getting errors on dependent Draft jobs that were part of a Nuke submission. I chose the ‘Quick’ preset to create a Quicktime of the finished comp. But i keep getting the same error message on all machines that try to render the job. Below is the complete output from the Task report of one of the machines. I think the relevant part is this:

2015-07-27 20:39:23:  0: STDOUT: C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline7\bin\dpython.exe: can't open file '\\cell-dead-01\deadlinerepo\events\Draft\DraftQuickSubmission\DraftCreateMovie.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I checked the Deadline repo folder and there is neither a file called ‘DraftCreateMovie.py’ nor does the folder called ‘DraftQuickSubmission’ exist. Is this maybe from a broken Repository installer?

Cheers,
Holger

Hi Holger,
It appears that the Quickdraft options were added to the 3dsmax integrated submitter, but were left out of the repository events scripts. This will be fixed in the next build.

To get it working, you can unzip the attached file, to this directory:
[your Deadline repository]\events\Draft\DraftQuickSubmission\

Quickdraft is in active development, so let us know if you experience any issues.
DraftQuickSubmission.zip (1.64 KB)

Hi Conrad,

this works. Thanks for the workaround!

Cheers,
Holger
