Big time saver being able to change/check the render resolution, output dir, AA, passes etc. bascially mirroring what we have in the render settings ppg in softimage. and if that can work with arnold as well as MRay too 
I just realized that we haven’t updated the docs yet for Softimage, but there is an integrated submitter for it. To install it, just copy Deadline-SoftimageClient.py from \your\repository\submission\Softimage\Client to the Softimage plugins folder. The next time you start Softimage, there should be a Submit Softimage To Deadline option in the Render menu.
This allows you to submit your scene from directly within Softimage, where you have access to all these settings. They’re not in the submitter themselves, because we don’t want to duplicate what’s already available in Softimage.
We can’t expose these settings in the Monitor, since the Softimage scene files aren’t in a parse-able format.
Cheers,

Just to clarify that a bit, I meant we can’t expose these in the Monitor submitter. You can still change some of these properties from the job after they’ve been submitted in the Job Properties dialog.
