Requeue assembler

How can I requeue the tile assembler? If I requeue a few of the tile “chunks”, I would like to have the assembler re-assemble the image.

Please specify the 3D software you are using, since tile rendering is available in Max, Maya and XSI.

Typically, the assembler is called as a post-frame job and should take care of re-assembling the whole image if you requeue tasks.

The 3ds Max built-in submitter even allows you to send new jobs with just a few tiles and if the rest of the tiles exist from a previous submission, the final images would be rebuilt in a fraction of the time.

Did you try requeueing a tile task? Did it fail?

We are using Maya. It seemed to re render the tiles ok, but didn’t reassemble all the tiles.

Hi Rob,



Check the render logs for the tasks that you requeued. If the tile

assembler fails to assemble the images, it prints out an error in the

render log. You can view the log by right-clicking on the task in the

monitor and selecting Task Reports -> View Log Reports.



One potential issue that we are aware of is that if you use the Maya

shortcuts for layers, scene name, etc in the Maya filename, the

submission script might not be creating the filename for the tiles

properly. This is part of a more general bug that we’ve logged where

Deadline doesn’t handle those Maya shortcuts in the output filename

properly.



Cheers,
