Hi,
i started to render rib right off the maya submitter. But we realise that if the rib create a error, the maya submitter dosn’t failed the job, event if the strict error cheking os enable. Do you have any way to fix this ?
Thks,
Fred
Hi Fred,
Can you post a render log from the job? We probably just need to add a new stdout handler to catch the error message.
Thanks!
- Ryan
I will get back to you when i’ll have a new error. But if this can help you, my lighter told me it is any rib error.
Thks 
3delight might just be formatting their errors in a way that we aren’t detecting. An error report will definitely help!
Ho right i got one

I’ll send you another one as soon as i get it
Thks !
Hmm, based on this log, everything looks like it rendered successfully. If 3delight isn’t giving an error, then unfortunately there isn’t anything for Deadline to watch for.

T2040
Which version of Deadline are you guys running? We started catching these 3delight errors in Deadline 5.1.47014.
Deadline Version: 5.1.0.46114
FranticX Version: 2.0.0.46111
I need an update i guess ?
If i have to update, is there any chance you just can send me the updated submitter ? I wont be able to negociate with our IT team to update deadline right now, we are in our final production crush
Just zip up the following files and post them:
\your\repository\plugins\MayaBatch\MayaBatch.py
\your\repository\plugins\MayaCmd\MayaCmd.py
I’ll make the necessary changes and post them back.
There you go
thks again !
MayaCmd.zip (26.9 KB)
Thanks! Attached are the two modified files. Just backup the originals and then drop them into their respective plugin folders.
Cheers,
