I was wondering how one would submit a maxscript job to deadline outside of 3ds Max. I have a list of 3ds Max files that i want to submit to deadline as maxscript jobs. I know how to submit a maxscript job from within 3ds max using the snippet below…but how can i do this from outside 3ds max just using python?
All that you need to do is set the key/value pair in the Plugin Info File
MAXScriptJob=1
and then supply the full path to the .MS script file as a second auxiliary file in the command line call to deadlineCommand after the .MAX scene file. Of course, if the MAX scene file is supplied via the SceneFile= key/value pair, then the script file will be the first auxiliary file. If using deadlineCommandBG, then the MAX and MS files would be the third and fourth arguments behind the two output files…
