this program is too complicated I need someone to explain in steps how to render a picture from vue . my main problem is what is what too put in the renderbull thing,i saw the explanation but found it too was confusing. also it says (when rendered from deadline moniter itself) that the picture is complete after about 3 seconds but i cant get it to open my image.
help!!
Hi Ricky,
This is what you’ll want to be entering into the Renderbull Network Options dialog in the “Command to Execute” field:
"C:\Program Files\Frantic Films\Deadline\bin\DeadlineCommand.exe" -executescript
\\your\repository\scripts\submission\VueSubmission\VueSubmission.py "[FILE_PATH]" "[SCENE_NAME]" "[NUM_FRAMES]" 7 64bit
Make sure “C:\Program Files\Frantic Films\Deadline” points to where you have Deadline installed to on the machine you are submitting from.
“\your\repository” should be replaced with the network path to your repository machine’s shared repository folder. This is the same network path you have Deadline Launcher or Deadline Monitor pointed to.
The “[FILE_PATH]” “[SCENE_NAME]” “[NUM_FRAMES]” fields should be left as is since Vue will replace these on it’s own when actually executing the command.
The “7 64bit” arguments refer to the version of Vue. These are optional or you can just set these in the submission dialog.
Click OK to save the network options then click the Render button in the Render Options dialog. This should then open the same Deadline submission dialog you would see when submitting from Deadline Monitor, except with certain fields pre-populated. If you receive an error when clicking Render, try modifying the “Command to Execute” field by removing the NUM_FRAMES and version arguments. If that works, you’ll then have to set the frame settings manually in the submission dialog.
As for viewing the output, the output should be rendered to the destination you have specified in the Render to Disk options dialog. To view the Render to Disk options dialog make sure Render to Disk is selected (In the Render Destination section in Render Options), and click Options. Note that this path should be a network path that the rendering Slave can access. If you specify a local path, the Slave will actually render to the Slave’s local path and not the local path of the machine you’ve submitted from (unless of course you submit from the same machine that is running the Slave application).
Hopefully these instructions were clear enough! 
Let us know how it goes.
