suggestion for Nuke submission

i all,

it would be super awesome if, when submitting from Nuke and using the “Submit Write nodes as seperate jobs” option, the resulting jobs would automatically build their dependencies based on the Write node’s render ordern values.
Is this possible?
It’d be ahuge time safer.

Cheers,
frank

This would be particularly clever if it also dequeued the pending jobs tasks based on tasks/frames completed and not the entire job being complete. Then u would have max. throughput :slight_smile:

In that case you cuold just run the nuke script with render orders as a s singel job, right?!
In my case I have some optical flow stuff coing on that makes it prohibitive to render frame-by-frame dependency.
But yeah, the option would be cool nonetheless

Do you know if it’s possible to figure out the render order of the write nodes in python? If so, then we could apply that logic in the submitter to set up the dependencies.

There is a render_order field in all the write nodes.

for n in nuke.allNodes('Write'):
    print n['render_order'].value()

Thanks! I’ve put this on the wish list. It’s probably something we can look at for 6.1.

Cheers,
