Hi
is there a mel script available to submit a renderman job to deadline .
I know that s different from mentalray since maya scenes need to be converted to RIB before being submitted to the renderer
but maybe you could have something already on the shelf .
I saw the submit RIb inside the deadline monitor but it would be great to have it within Maya.
Cheers
just to add a comment
we have renderman studio with renderer embedded on station and also pro-server on the farm
Hey there,
Unfortunately, we currently don’t have anything to export to Renderman from our integrated Maya submitter, like we do for mentalray and vray. Using Renderman For Maya through Deadline should work just like a regular Maya job, but it doesn’t sound like this is what you’re looking for (since you mentioned only having it Renderman embedded on the workstations, not the farm).
Cheers,
This is something we wanted to look into, because a couple of people have asked for this now. Unfortunately, Renderman for Maya no longer has a watermarked demo version (which we had always used in the past to support Renderman for Maya). If there is anyone you could put us in contact with at Pixar, we would love to look at supporting this feature. 
Cheers,
thx both for your posts.
We ll probably develop our own scipt. Basically I see 2 jobs created from Maya, one for RIB export and the second (pending) for RIB rendering based on your existing submitter in monitor (yeah you right the farm wont have RMS installed but pro-server instead).
Let me check if we have a contact for you . Demo version comes with a time limit. I guess you could get one too.
Cheers
