Maya Manual Submission: Tile Rendering

Deadline
1

When writing a custom submitter, I am having some difficulties understanding what is necessary for Deadline to correctly render a tile job. Is there any documentation about the requirements of what is needed for the jobInfo and pluginInfo submission files? After submitting a few jobs via the vanilla submitter I am still confused as to what the flags mean and which ones are required and why.

I have been trying to parse the vanilla Maya submitter ending up wildly unsuccessful due to it being written in MEL rather than python. The mel submitter is then calling python commands all over the place such as this command: python( "dlTileGenerator = TileRendering.TileGenerator() But I cannot figure out where that python module is coming from. The 10K single file mel code is impossible to navigate.

If you’d like a breakdown of all the options for Job Info files, those are here, with tile job section picked. The plugin flags are specific to the plugin but you’re on the right track reverse engineering job submissions.

TileRendering is getting imported from submission/TileRendering/Main in the Repository. Line 9450 if you’re curious. At least on my 10.1.9.2 install.
