I’ve created my own basic submitter within 3ds Max via maxscript, which works great but due to how it works, it needs to send the same scene multiple times. The issue I have is because its sends off multiple jobs, it also takes a long time coping the same file over and over.
I was wondering if there was a way to link the Multiple jobs file to a single job id or a way so it only needs to copy the file once ?? Open to any ideas !!
Hey Josh,
You could have the scene file(s) on a network share that all the workers can get to, and let them fetch it once they start work on it. They’ll still have to take the time to grab the file, but it’ll save you time at submission which seems like what you’re trying to speed up?
I might be totally missing the point though, so let us know!
I agree with Justin, if the time for copying the MAX file to the Repository is what you are trying to reduce, saving the scene to a network location, and then pointing the job at it using the key value pair SceneFile=\\your\network\path\here\scene.max in the Plugin Info file would do that. Also, in that case you don’t have to include the .MAX file as auxiliary file argument to the deadlineCommand call…
