Hello,
I am becoming familiar with deadline bit by bit as we have started using it in our pipeline. But i was curious if its possible to have a python script run on the maya file at render time.
Maya files can have embeded pre-render mel scripts in the file itself. But i’d like to apply a script via deadline to be applied to the maya file before it renders. Is that possible?
The Maya Script Job seems to only run the script i give it but not actually render afterwards.
Even if its a simple:
Sounds like you are looking for a JobPreLoad script. This is a script that the slave will execute before loading a job for a specific plugin such as Maya.
I believe this gives me some good insight. However I am wonder if this is being run before Maya is even loaded. if that is the case then it may not work. i need to have the script run after maya render gets called, but before the rendering process begins.
I will begin with looking into my options with this though so thank you for this.
Now, that may not fit your workflow perfectly. Are these on-off script jobs, or will they be integral to your pipeline? If the later, I can help out making the process smoother.
