Hi,
I’m trying to setup a small Deadline renderfarm of a few computers @ my school. Fixed a couple of problems already and I think I’m pretty close to get it working. I get this error though:
Error: Strict error checking on, caught the following error or warning.
Error: file: C:/Users/render4/AppData/Local/Temp/tmp6A83.tmp line 44: Render failed.
Turning off strict error checking causes the render to continue and to complete but when I check the output files, no actual output files exist. Nothing is being created or saved.
What is this error.
Using Deadline 8 with Maya 2015 mentalray as a test.
Hello,
In order to better help here, we would need to see a job report or two so we can get some context to the error. We have docs at support@thinkboxsoftware.com and reference this forum post. Thanks.
Awesome. I will do that as soon as I have access to the machines again.
I will be moving to Maya 2016 and vray as soon as I get those licenses from my school though. You think that will have any effect on this?
As long as you have the same version on the render node as you have on your submitting machine, there shouldn’t be issues, but if they do come up, let us know and we can look it over.
Mainly, we’ll try and isolate the problem away from Deadline on the render machines. A good first step actually would be to run the render inside of Maya on one of the machines to see how it does. Path mapping might be a problem here, but it’s going to be worth trying.
The full render log is definitely going to give us a good handle on things too, so definitely getting that over here is going to be handy.
Ok here is the error log. Currently I have 3 render nodes and they all give the same error.

If this error message is unavoidable but not fatal, please email support@thinkboxsoftware.com with the error message, and disable the Maya job setting Strict Error Checking.
