Setting stereo camera paths

Hi guys,

We’re rendering stereo cameras over Deadline 8. It’s great that it’s supporting it by creating the necessary jobs in a group, but the outputs of all jobs go to the same place. Would be great if some suffix could be added to the output filenames. Or I’m missing something, hopefully :slight_smile:

Thanks

When using the SMTD option for stereo cameras submission, each output should get a prefix which defaults to LE_, CE_ and RE_.
Can you provide more info about the exact steps you are using to submit your job?

Also provide all relevant details like Deadline version, Max version, type of Stereo Camera rig used (VRay, Max, Custom) etc.

Are you rendering in V-Ray? Are you using VRay Frame Buffer outputs, or Max’ own? Are you using any fancy SMTD features?
AFAIK we have added the prefixes everywhere we output a file, but it is possible you found a combination of settings that fails…

I just tested it here with a V-Ray and 3dsMax Stereo Camera rigs using V-Ray as the renderer and they both rendered as they should, saving each eye to a unique file with an eye prefix.

My bad! Deadline is actually prefixing the names with LE_ or RE_, I was just not looking at that part of the filename :smiley:

Thanks :slight_smile:
