Maya Plugin Error

Deadline
1

Hi,



I currently installed Maya 2008 on each individual machine, not sure if that is necessary, but when rendering a project with Deadline and error occurs with the Error Message “Script accessed non-existent plugin config key RenderExecutable_” and later it mentions something about a Maya Batch Plugin for Deadline.



Thank You,

David

Hi David,



You probably just need to install the plugin patch for the latest

version of Deadline that adds support for Maya 2008. You can download

the patch from here:

http://www.franticfilms.com/software/products/deadline/download/



To install the patch, follow the directions here:

Cheers,

I actually installed that, because I originally ran into no support for Maya 2008, but I installed the plugin and the error about RenderExecutable appears

The Error I’m recieving is as follows:
