Saving maya file when already submitted job.

Just wanted to know if this is an intended change in deadline.

This is our workflow.

We create assets and those assets are referenced into maya. The problem now is that when we submit a job to the farm say a reflection renderpass, and then somone goes back to the asset created and change something on the model that change makes it way to the submitted file.

This wasnt the case before we updated to deadline 6 from what i can recall.

Hello,

As far as I know, if the assets aren’t submitted with the job, then changes to the assets before the job is run would then affect the job when it is rendered. Is it possible that you were previously submitting your scene files and assets with the job? Thanks.

Hi again and thanks for the info.

It seems a little strange thou that we do have Submit maya scene file checked but the error we got was in the middle of a sequence. Doesnt Deadline save a temporary file that the slaves read?

If the files are being copied, then nothing done to the originals should be affecting the job. As for local copies, I do believe so. Can you send over the job report so we can take a look? Thanks.
