Problem Maya Batch using 3Delight

[azura]

Hi I use 3delight 2.932 for Maya 2022
I render from deadline monitor to rendering with Maya batch

There is some error like
Error: file: C:/Users/Administrator/AppData/Local/Temp/tmpEE8.tmp line 6: Cannot find procedure “DRG_batchRenderInit”.

I’ve tried local render using Maya and it work. I think the problem at this DRG_batchRenderInit error, but I can’t figure out

To see if this is getting caused by the Deadline Worker, or by the scene / render node could you go through the troubleshooting guide to test this render as Deadline would run it but without the added complexity of our application plugins?

I agree that DRG_batchRenderInit is the issue, and that tmpEE8.tmp file referenced is something Deadline builds automatically for rendering with MayaBatch, so the troubleshooting guide will help simplify the setup.

I noticed in Maya’s batch renderer there are 3Delight and _3Delight. when submitting job from monitor the renderer is 3Delight if i send it from Maya the renderer is _3Delight.

so, I try submit from Maya which use _3Delight renderer. there is no DRG_batchRenderInit error

I see this discussion

3delight+maya+deadline3

there was an earlier thread about this, but no concrete info on getting it working. I’ve finally managed to find some free time to upgrade to deadline3, but it doesn’t seem to like 3delight at all. This is with maya 2008, any tips? Submitting the usual way defaults to the software renderer, and using the mayabatch plugin runs through the frames really quickly (under 2 seconds), but doesn’t actually do anything. -matt

@azura

thanks for sharing the solution, so it is working if you use _3Delight when submitting from within Maya?
