Maxwell Render V3 Extra Sampling 7.1

Deadline Version: 7.1.0.16 R (ff16c92b9)
FranticX Version: 2.3.0.0 R (550f9fdde)
Maxwell Render Version: 3.1 Public

As previously in V7.0 public, the render progress bar in the monitor and the slave status % are reaching 100% when the global sample level is reached and are not accounting for Extra Sampling level when it is turned on.

When a job is added to reach Sample Level 10 and an Extra Sampling level of 20, the progress bars show 100% at SL10, not at SL20 as expected. Actual displayed % for Sample level progress on reaching SL20 is 200%

Perhaps the progress bars need resetting when the global Sample Level value is reached, so they hold true for the remaining SL value.
Or the whole job is accounted for by using the Extra Sampling value for the progress, as this will always be higher than the global Sample Level.

Problem is valid for Co-operative and single rendering with Maxwell Render 3.1.

Cheers,

Tim.

Hey Tim,

I tried a render here with the extra sampling level set, but Maxwell doesn’t seem to be printing this value out to the render log. We currently pull the sampling level from the line that looks like this:

2015-02-17 07:33:47:  0: STDOUT: maxwell:[INFO]:  - Desired sampling level : 6.000000

However, I’m not seeing anything regarding the extra sampling level. It’s quite possible that my Maxwell scene isn’t set up properly for this, so can you post a render log from a job where this is happening? We can take a look to see if it contains any useful output that we could watch for.

If it doesn’t, we might have to talk to the guys at Next Limit to see if this is something they can add to their render logging.

Note: The reason we don’t want to go with the sampling level that is set when submitting the job is that this won’t always be overwritten on submission. In that case, there is no sampling level stored with the job, so it’s much more reliable to pull it from Maxwell’s render log.

Cheers,
Ryan

Here you go Ryan.

Tim.

Thanks for the log! Looks like there are a couple of lines we can use:

Extra Sampling: New (estimated) global target SL: ...
Extra Sampling: New global target SL: ...

We can pay attention to both, as the first will help us better estimate the progress early on, and the second will let us be more accurate once it’s set.

I’ve attached an updated Maxwell plugin file that attempts to use these lines to give better progress reporting. Just unzip to \your\repository\plugins\Maxwell and overwrite the existing Maxwell.py file. Then resubmit this job and let us know if it works.

Thanks!

Hey Tim,

Just wanted to follow up to see if you’ve had a chance to test the updated Maxwell plugin I posted. If this works, we can roll the fix into beta 4.

Thanks!
Ryan

Hey Tim,

Just an update. We were able to create a scene with extra sampling, and discovered a bug in the previous Maxwell plugin file I posted. I’ve uploaded the new one here, which we confirmed to work as expected. We’ll be including this change in beta 4.

Cheers,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Sorry for the delay. I had to wait for my licenses to be renewed, which has now been done. Please could you reissue the beta license for me and I can test this straight away.

Cheers,

Tim.

Hey Tim,

No worries! You can get your Deadline beta license renewed by emailing beta [at] thinkboxsoftware [dot] com

Cheers,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

This seems to be working correctly with beta 2, I’m downloading beta 4 now and will test with the bundled version too.

Cheers,

Tim.

Great, thanks for confirming!
