Hello ,
i’m starting using DEADLINE 10.0.25.2 in managing a render farm with MAYA 2018 and i’m facing a lot of problems that i can not find a way to solve.
i’m trying to render a scene with deadline and it completes successfully . However , i can not find the render output any way.
Hey Mahmoud,
Are you able to post job logs and additional information regarding your production environment (Workstation/Slave OS, Renderer used & Version, custom tools, etc)? That type of information goes a long way in helping to diagnose issues like this.
Hi,
It you are rendering using MayaBatch, try MayaCMD instead. Your Pipeline Technical Director might have to make some scripts changes.

You might have already checked these, but I’m just commenting on what the log says…
First up, it says “Error detected in HDF5 . . . no file name specified” - check to see that your alembic cache is being loaded on the machine doing the rendering.
You might want to resave the scene as an .ma file and load the file into a text editor like Sublime Text or Notepad++ to see if there are any weird entries for any of the asset paths.
Looking online for Error # 210 it says something about referenced scenes being used multiple times - that also might be a hint as to what’s going on? If you have references in the scene, try importing them, Save As to a new scene and try rendering it again.
