Maxon Cinema 4D S24 + Redshift etc support

Might as well get in first and see if anyone has had any (more) issues with the latest version of Cinema 4D and latest interface for Redshift?

I’ll be giving this a whirl shortly and see if modifying the usual files works ok.

I have the same problem. Tried modifying the parms file but i still get the same error.

I updated some scripts and got it working

!!! USE THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK/BACKUP ORIGINAL SCRIPTS !!!

Some notes:

  1. I’m on Deadline 10.1.15.2 (latest)
    and I use almost no custom settings when submitting except unchecking Batch render and also changing the Groups.

  2. Be aware that even is S24 you need to add plugins.json file to C4D commandlines settings folder otherwise C4D will not see third party plugins
    I already added that plugins.json if you just use the default C:/Program Files/Maxon Cinema 4D R24/plugins
    Just put the plugins.json in this folder
    %appdata%\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D R24_C2A528F6_x

here is the support article for that

  1. Don’t forget to license Commandline.exe for S24

Here are the Deadline script locations:
Save a copy for each file before copying over

The scripts:
deadline_S24.zip (41.4 KB)

Cinema4DSubmission.py
C:\DeadlineRepository10\scripts\Submission

Cinema4DBatch.param
C:\DeadlineRepository10\plugins\Cinema4DBatch

Cinema4D.param
C:\DeadlineRepository10\plugins\Cinema4D

This is the one that might mess things up
Because I just deleted the argument that caused the issues as the one shown by @anthonygelatka
but seems to be working ok on S23, haven’t tested on older versions.

SubmitC4DToDeadline.py
C:\DeadlineRepository10\submission\Cinema4D\Main

Is it also possible to share the updated deadlineC4Dclient.pyp please ?

the update is in 10.1.16.6 so you may want to upgrade

if not
DeadlineC4DClient.zip (1.3 KB)

I still get the “Unable to get submitter info…” error even after upgrading to 10.1.16.8. Was this upgraded supposed to support R24?

C4D version s24.037

did you upgrade the submitter pyp file?

works for me creating a simple scene in Win10

Cinema_4D_00ABOPxybi
and renders fine through Deadline
deadlinemonitor_ZYnFQQRAPR

I’ll try upgrading C4D
EDIT: I upgraded to 037 and it went through ok

My bad. I had a custom submitter in “REPOSITORY\custom\submission\Cinema4D” :slight_smile:
Removed that and it works like it should now.

Bonsak

could be a handy feature in deadline if the plugin had some way to highlight the plugin was running the custom version, like a colour or asterisk

be also handy if when installing an upgrade Deadline displayed a list of all custom folders and scripts
