error with maya2008 and render layer

Deadline
1

hi there…

i am experiencing some error using maya 2008 and deadline.

the error are that i render with renderlayer and i submit using the option render each layer separately and i do not submit the scene option .

well…

maya render some of the layer in the image folder and not inside the render layer and other rlayer in the right layer…

this time i have only 2 layer…



i use as name for the rendered file %l%l that is a shortcut that let give the name to the rendered file equal to the renderlayer they should be…



another problem i need is that render.exe is not found in the path where all the possible are set…and the path is there…under my eyes…



thanks

mat

Hey Mat,



The problem with the render layers not being saved to the correct

location might have to do with the shortcuts you’re using for the

rendered image filename (%l%l). Can you try using normal filenames to

see if that makes a difference? Either way, we need to improve how

Deadline handles these filename shortcuts (we’ll try to do this for

Deadline 3.0), but I just to confirm if that is actually the problem in

this case.



With regards to Deadline not finding render.exe, I guess a couple of

things to check are:

  1. There are no typos in the semicolon separated list of paths you have

    in your Maya plugin configuration
  2. There are no permission issues with accessing the Maya bin folder



    If these aren’t the problem, I can’t imagine why Deadline wouldn’t be

    able to find the file if it indeed exists.



    Cheers,

v8.5 lets you use human-readable variables, so you could use

[Layer]/[Layer]


instead. (replace those square brackets with angle brackets, this webboard doesn’t like 'em). that might get around your problem…

thanks, i’ll give a look…

i think that %l/%l is doing wrong…you are right…i’ll test more as soon as i can!
