Softimage2011 submission script problem

Deadline
1

First thing first, I’ve checked and there is python in SI2011 so that shouldn’t be a problem.
There is Submit XSI to Deadline option in Rendering menu and up to that everything is ok. But after
starting submission script I get this error:

ERROR : Traceback (most recent call last):

File “”, line 88, in Main

import XSIToDeadline

ImportError: No module named XSIToDeadline

- [line 87 in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2011\Application\Plugins\SubmitXSIToDeadline.py]

I’ve looked a bit into submission script, maybe to manually point to submission folder or something but I’m really not too much into Python,
and not even sure if that is the problem.
Any idea?
Thanks

Can you open a command prompt and run this command:

deadlinecommand.exe getrepositoryroot

This should print out the repository root path. If you’re not seeing this, let us know what you are seeing (note that it may be possible that nothing gets printed out).

printed out DeadlineRepository root location without any problems.

That is strange. I’ve uploaded the SubmitXSIToDeadline.py file from Deadline 4.0. This file really hasn’t changed much from 3.1, and we have confirmed that the script works with Softimage 2011.

This is the file that you drop into the Softimage plugins folder on your workstation. Try replacing the current one on your workstation with this one. Then restart Softimage and see if that helps.
