Hi there,
we have changed to deadline 5.2, using Maya 2013 with mentalray, opened an 2012-scene in Maya 2013, local rendering runs normal, if I render (up to 4 renderlayer) at the renderfarm, these errormessages apear (See also snapshot) - at the end the most frames are rendered ready, but some frames are not:
Error Message
Exception during render: An error occurred in RenderTasks(): Monitored managed process “MayaBatch” has exited or been terminated.
bei Deadline.Plugins.ScriptPlugin.RenderTasks(String taskId, Int32 startFrame, Int32 endFrame, String& outMessage)
