no alpha in the main beauty pass

Deadline
1

Hi guys weve suddenly came across a problem in our renders with 3dsmax vray and deadline.
We’re getting render results with no alpha in the main beauty pass but it does exist in the elements of the passes. We are rendering using RPM and saving exr’s (16 float with zip compresion).

This issue is not consistent. Random frames are rendering fine while others are not.

We are not sure that this is a Deadline issue, but we thought we post it here if it is by some chance a known Deadline issue.

thenks in advance

This is not an issue I’m aware of. When you render locally, the RGB pass does include an alpha correctly?
Have you tried enabling the “Restart Renderer Between Frames” option in the SMTD options? Does it make a difference here?
