Nuke Submission not recognizing Gizmo Write

Deadline
1

Now that my write node is a gizmo named WriteNIM_JPG, deadline does not see it as a selected write node and I can not choose Selected Nodes Only. This will be a problem. Any ideas on how to get around that one? Is there a way I can register my write nodes so when it checks for selected nodes deadline find it?

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
We recursively search for write nodes in all nodes and groups. I’m not sure about gizmos. Perhaps we need to convert a gizmo to a group, so that we can recursively search them for nodes of a “Write” class. I’m not convinced this is the ideal approach. I’ll add it to our list to investigate.

Thanks Mike,

I’m going to dig around with the submitter as well to see what I can get going.

I’ll let you know how it goes

I had the same problem not too long ago but I managed to find a bit of a hacky way round it.

if you open up your “WriteNIM_JPG.gizmo” file in a text editor and change the line near the top from “Gizmo {” to “Group {” and save it, it should work.

When you create the gizmo node within Nuke it will appear as a group, rather than a gizmo, but work and render exactly the same.

Not sure if you will be able to choose it as a selected write node, but I’m hopeful

Finger crossed!

Cool Nuke hackery! This is very much on our list to have a play with shortly (it’s logged in our system) and see what we can get working reliably. I’ll also have a word with the guys from The Foundry.
Cheers!

I realize this is an older thread but I’m running into a similar issue.

I’d like to offload write nodes to a precomp and Deadline isn’t seeing those either. Is there any work around for this or can it be considered for future Deadline development?

It also appears that the feature of recursively searching inside of groups for write nodes also no longer works.

Hi,
Can you confirm that exact version of Deadline you are using?

Deadline v7.1.0.35 delivered this fix:
“The integrated nuke submitter now properly detects if Gizmos are selected when submitting the selected write nodes only.”

Deadline v7.2 shipped this week:
docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/produc … notes.html

Also in v7.1.0.35
“Added option to integrated submitter to submit only write nodes within precomp nodes.
Added option to integrated submitter to render the precomp nodes first.”

Which sounds exactly like what you are asking, let us know if this helps.
