Render Arnold using Maya License

Deadline
1

Hi,
Maya 2017 comes with a built in Arnold interactive licence - which can also can render “kind of batch” with the “Render Sequence” function.
Can this be used to submit a job to Deadline and then the Slave launches up Maya and renders with arnold within maya? Basicly using the maya licence to render a arnold job?

Because otherwise, you get watermarks because the standard mayabatch seem to require a “proper” arnold licence.

thanks!

Unfortunately it doesn’t sound like we don’t currently have support for that, as we do simple batch renders with MayaBatch.

okay, thanks for the reply

Just to add a bit more here, we’re using the ‘Batch’ render mode that you’d find in Maya itself. I’m pretty sure we’re bound by the same limitations there because we’re calling MayaBatch from the command line just as the UI is.
