How to read 3dsMax assets while rendering on AWS?

Deadline

Hi,

There is a custom .ini file which has its file path stored with other assets (images, renderouput…).
AFAIK, it should be uploaded along with other assets on AWS.
How can we access that file in order to read it? In other word, what is the asset path?

Thanks.

That’s hard to say, as the path will be different with each stack, as it’ll look like:

E:[your root directory path without slashes][stackID]\customfile.ini

So it’s hard to predict as that stackID will be different with each infrastructure.

Though you could make use of Deadline’s path mapping to produce that path, depending on where/how you’re planning on accessing the file.

Thank you! I’ll try it out.
I’ll be trying to access the file from 3ds Max in the cloud.
