Softimage 2013 Batch Render Fails

I get the following error when trying to run a job for Softimage 2013 SP1. We were running beta 13 so I tried upgrading to beta 14. Still the same error. I tried a complete clean uninstall reinstall on one of the clients, removing all thinkbox folders from program files, appdata, and programdata. Still the same error. I then tried submitting without using the “Use Sofimage Batch Plugin” and now it seems to be rendering.

Thanks for reporting this! It will be fixed in beta 15.

I’ve attached the fixed SoftimageBatch script that you can use in the meantime. Just unzip the attached file to \your\repository\plugins\SoftimageBatch.

Cheers,

Thanks Ryan!
