Maya - rendering (the other) half frames - urgent-ish

Deadline
1

Hi All

Urgent-ish question if anyone happens to know about Maya + DL + half frame rendering

I did a few thousand machine hours of Maya rendering recently but didn’t realise I needed to tick the ‘Render Half Frames’ box, so no I have every other frame. Can anyone suggest an easy way to render the missing every other frames using Deadline?

I tried to trick it by adding .5 to the start and end frame values but this didn’t help.

Only other thing I can think of is to to use a tool such as Red9 Studio Path to offset the entire animtion by 0.5, but it’s late, there’s a looming deadline and I’m too tired to think straight so if there’s a nice deadline solution anyone can suggest I’m all ears!

thinking out loud here… but maybe a hacky addition to the Maya plugin might work.

Not to worry, client has seen lots of other issues and decided to re-render everything anyway :slight_smile:

Hello,

Sorry for missing your post. I think the only way to try to do that would be to change the job properties, then requeue it so that it rerenders the job. Glad that it got sorted, though.
