Tile Rendering - 3ds Max

Deadline
1

Are there any scripts showcasing how to do tile rendering in 3ds max using a manual submission?
Do i just have to recreate it parsing the submission script that comes with Deadline? I’ll be doing this with python. I wasn’t sure if it was as easy as creating the Job and Plugin info files with the following…

Is there is an easier way of doing this you lysing the draft plugin that works as well. There’s just no documentation on What fields are necessary to create tile submission job we’re both still frames and animations. Other than reverse engineering the max submission script

Just wanted to give a heads up to the Dev team, VRay Raw Image Output does not work and seemingly is not supported when using the Tile rendering feature. Why is that?

I have exactly the same problem…

I contacted the support team to see what they experience on their site. From what I’ve gathered, this feature doesn’t work at all. Which is unfortunate, the pipeline relies heavily on this feature to successfully work. hopefully we can find a solution. We are trying to do large renders, but from the looks of it, we are limited to a single frame per node until the tile rendering is fixed.

If anyone is wondering why this doesnt work. I believe their version of openexr being used to composite the tiles is out dated. The second issue is it doesnt save out the vray raw images no matter the settings.

Did anyone from the dev team have updates on this particular topic?
