Hello Develope Team :neutral_face:

Sorry for the delay. I’m away from the office this week, so our support staff is a bit shothanded.

I can tell you though that unfortunately Max 2010 and 2011 support cannot be backported to Deadline
3.x because of changes made to the plugin system that were added to 4.x to accommodate this support.
In this case, the only options are to upgrade Deadline or to use the alternative 3dscmd plugin that uses
Max’s command line renderer and manually add 2010 and 2011 support to it.

Cheers,
Ryan

Thank you so much for respond, now i tried to set path to maya(2010-2011) and nuke(6.0-6.1) lastest version it’s all working :slight_smile:

but just only max and xsi doesn’t work

a problem for xsi it same max right ? I can be back some application to 3.1 sp1 ?

cheer

I would think you could add XSI 2011 support without having to upgrade Deadline. Can you explain the problem you’re having with XSI? Maybe explain what you’ve tried so far and include any error messages you’re getting when you try to render?

Cheers,

  • Ryan

Thank for advance[/b][/size] :neutral_face:

I think the problem might be that you have too many “RenderExecutable#” entries in your dlinit and param files. The # represents the version number of XSI. Version 2010 is actually 8, and 2011 is 9. So you don’t need the 10 and 11 entries. Because the SP1 releases are the same major version number as their corresponding original releases, Deadline can’t support them explicitly.

That would likely explain the error you’re seeing as well, since you’re submitting from 2011 and the RenderExecutable9 path is pointing to a 2010 installation.

Cheers,

We’re getting closer. :slight_smile:

That error is a known problem with Deadline 3.x on Vista and Windows 7. The problem has been fixed in Deadline 4.x. The workaround to this problem is to launch the Slave application from a command prompt (instead of from the Launcher application or the Start menu).

Only an upgrade can fix this problem properly, otherwise you have to use the workaround I described. It’s a core Deadline issue, and not specific to any plugin.

Cheers,
