Tiles assembly bug

Deadline
1

Hello ryan

We found 2 problems that prevent Deadline to render a final image from tiles rendered.
Our workflow is the following:

  • submit a 2x2 tiles job
    this creates:
    • the tiles job render on 4 slaves (SUCCESS)
    • an assembly job (FAILS)

It fails because

  • The tiles path in the assembly job file is wrong because it doesnt take in account the Maya tags (like _)
  • If I fixed manually the previous path in the job file, then the job complains about ImageMagick resolution (ERROR: ImageMagick: MustSpecifyImageSize)

I can reproduce deadline bug by using your command line app “tileassembler64.exe” and there is no image res option avilable
Do we have to install an imagemagick app or is it embeded in tileassembler64.exe ? :nerd:

Cheers
Guy

Hi Guy,

A few questions:

  1. Which version of Deadline are you using?
  2. Which version of Maya and which Maya renderer?
  3. What is the format if the image file you’re trying to assemble (jpg, exr, tga, etc)?
  4. Can you post a very simple test scene (just geometry and maybe a camera, no textures or external references) that reproduces the problem?

Thanks!
