Maya Geomtrey flicker and distortion from one slave HELP !

Deadline
1

Hi, I have two windows 7 machines rendering maya files, Ive done my first render overnight only to find that ALL the frames on slave 1 (one with the repository) have a slight distortion in my characters mesh geometry making it flicker when all frames are put together !?.. its really weird, all the frames on my second slave (where i submitted the job from maya) are ALL fine. eg you can see the wrist, parts of the body verts just move slightly and distort. this is also happening on other non character geometry… I’m having to re-render all the frames that are wrong again but just with one slave my second one. PLEASE HELP… :cry:

I am using referenced files, this shouldn’t matter right ?
inside maya Im using mental ray

deadline type: maya render job
I have render layers as seperate jobs as i need this
enable local rendering is NOT enabled

many thanks

Hmm, this definitely isn’t a known issue, so we’ll have to do some debugging.

Have you tried a local render on the second slave to see if you get the same bad results? We need to determine if this is a Deadline specific problem or a general Maya issue, and doing a local test on the problematic slave is the best place to start.

If the local render works, then the next thing to try is to resubmit the Deadline job, but this time make sure the “Use MayaBatch” option is disabled in the submitter. This will have Deadline do a basic command line render. If you still get the bad frames, please post a log from the job from a bad frame. You can find the logs by right-clicking on the job in the Monitor and selecting Job Reports -> View Log Reports.

Thanks!

Hi Ryan thanks for the reply, I tried checking the render locally but still same problem, I have posted a low res clip here, look at his arm pit and right wrist flickering between bad frames done on slave one and ok frames from slave two: https://www.dropbox.com/s/az8mhbulu8a8u49/render_problem.mov

I thought it best to try and import the objects from the reference character file so there are no referenced files used, I noticed the bad frames look like earlier versions of skinning issues I had in this area. may just be a coincidence, Not sure how this is possible though as the referenced character file has been fixed and rendering fine on second slave… anyway… I have a new problem now that I have imported the reference and submit to deadline I get this error message…

// Warning: file: //DAVESHP/DeadlineRepository/submission/Maya/SubmitMayaToDeadline.mel line 2897: ‘Cartoony_Claude_v13_Rigged1:defaultRenderLayer’ is a layer from a referenced scene and is not allowed to be the current layer.

I don’t understand how this is possible as there are now no referenced files ?
I tried selecting a different render layer and re-saving and re submitting to deadline but still same error, i tried copying the render layer, still same error ?
Any ideas, I under a tight timeline with this project ?, many thanks again

and here is a log report from one of the bad frames

Thanks for running the local test. Since the problem happens locally without using Deadline, it must be a more general Maya problem. Unfortunately, this falls out of my area of expertise, so it might be best to contact Autodesk’s support team to see if they know anything about this problem.

Regarding that layer error, it’s not coming directly from our submission script (ie: we don’t have an error message that complains about the current layer being a referenced layer). You said though that you still have issues with the scene when rendering locally after importing the references. If that’s the case, it’s not going to help submitting the job to Deadline because you’re going to get the same results. I think it’s best to ensure that the scene will work locally first, and then submit to Deadline.

Cheers,

Hi Ryan, sorry for the confusion, when I say I ran it locally I meant I still submitted it through deadline, but checked “Enable local rendering” which still doesn’t work. If I do a normal batch render in Maya locally as you meant it works fine, I know this because Ive had to carry on rendering to try and get my job finished whilst still having issues with Deadline the last week.

So the problem is definitely with Deadline. So I then tried importing my reference objects into maya so deadline didn’t have to deal with and imported referenced files, but that is when I got this error message…
[size=85]// Warning: file: //DAVESHP/DeadlineRepository/submission/Maya/SubmitMayaToDeadline.mel line 2897: ‘Cartoony_Claude_v13_Rigged1:defaultRenderLayer’ is a layer from a referenced scene and is not allowed to be the current layer.[/size]

It seems lots of other people online have had the same problem, its a maya thing when you import reference so its all in one scene it leaves these defaultRender layer nodes… I finally fixed that if anyone is interested by going to the hypershade under Rendering and deleting these nodes, and now I can render !

So I ran a test to see if my main problem of one of my slaves rendered frames meshes still distorting as in my video I uploaded for you, and hoorah … it works fine !! :smiley:
So it seems that Deadline cannot handle maya files that have other files referenced into them. Its a bit of a pain as it means I need to import my references and save as a new file just to submit to Deadline every time, but at least I can get it working now. Will there be any updates to fix this issue using references in Maya ?

Many thanks

Thanks for clarifying, and I’m glad you were able to get it to work!

That’s strange about the file reference problem though. As far as we know, Deadline shouldn’t have any problems with referenced files, providing that all render nodes can “see” these referenced files (ie: they’re available on the network). When Deadline renders a Maya job, it is invoking the same commands that Maya would use if you were to call Render.exe from a command line, so if Render.exe supports file references, then Deadline should be able to support them too.

I checked the log you posted, and it’s from a job that was submitted with “Use MayaBatch” enabled. If you want to continue debugging this issue, please submit the same job but with the “Use MayaBatch” option disabled and then upload the log. This will make Deadline launch a regular command line job, and we can use the info from that log to run a test on your second slave without Deadline. Perhaps it might be a Maya issue that only comes up when batch rendering outside of the Maya interface (it’s rare, but we’ve seen cases like this before).

Cheers,

  • Ryan

Thanks! The next thing to do is to go to the same slave machine, open a command prompt, and run this command:

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2013\bin\Render.exe" -r mr -v 5 -art -aml -x 320 -y 240 -rl Claude_beauty -s 300 -e 300 -b 1 -rd "//HPZ620/Freelance Work/The Detective Group/DG - character project/Maya work/images/ANIMATION_RENDERS/VIDEO2/SCENE1" -im "Scene1_shot2_ClaudeWakeUp_<RenderLayer>" -cam "shotCam_Shape1" -proj "//HPZ620/Freelance Work/The Detective Group/DG - character project/Maya work" "\\hpz620\Freelance Work\The Detective Group\DG - character project\Maya work\scenes\Animations\VIDEO_2\Scene_1\Render farm test 02.ma"

This is the exact same command that Deadline is running. If you get the bad frames as well, then at least we can rule out Deadline as the main cause.

Thanks!

Hi, I just ran that on the machine where the bad slave is and its still bad, so I guess that its not deadline !, Very sorry about that. :blush:
So I then thought, these errors still look like an older character before I edited the skinning, and on the older machine with the slave that was giving me bad frames…,. so I did a random test of copying the newest character reference file over to the old machine in the job folder where I was working from before I got this newer machine and ALL the frames are now fine ??? how is this even possible?

So that means that deadline was reading the referenced character file on my new machine from my new file on this machine, but the slave on my older machine was calling in an older reference file when rendering, but how is this possible ? … my project directory when submitting is set to my new machine, a completely different computer and folder ?
Does that mean I need a duplicate copy of the whole Maya project on both machines ?
Thanks

No worries! I’m just glad we were able to figure out the cause of the problem! :slight_smile: I’m also glad that Deadline wasn’t the cause. :smiley:

You shouldn’t need a duplicate copy of the Maya project folder. It should just be in one location that can be accessed by all machines. I checked the render arguments in the log, and it confirms that a shared folder is being specified as the project folder:

Providing that the “bad” machine could resolve that path, and that the new character reference was in there, it should have pulled everything from that location.

Cheers,

Thats exactly what I thought, so I don’t know how copying the updated reference on to my old machine made it work again, its impossible. It should be reading everything from my HPZ620 ?
But it was definitely reading the old referenced file because the errors were areas where I updated the skinning on the character and all fixed when i updated the older file. I might try and delete the whole folder from the older machine, but I do like to keep a backup there.

thanks again for all your help
