Hi guys, in my deadline, i have many jobs. And now i want to my worker get high priority to render task id 0 first in every single jobs to test then they’ll back to the current jobs. I hope you can get what i mean. Thanks!
If you’re submitting a frame-range and testing the first frame, you could submit Frame 1 (or Task 0) as one job and pend a second job with the rest of the frames onto that first job, the second job should have a Completed Frames dependency so it only releases into the Queued/Rendering state when the first job completes.
so if i do that my repository will store 2 projects, but my all files are huge, and our artist need a lot of time to submit 2 times, i dont want like that.
What application are you submitting from? My example would apply to submitting a render frame range for like Houdini or Arnold or Maya etc.
im submit from 3dsmax, im working with about 10gb and above file, and all work are on server. So every time i submit it will take a lot of time to deadline make a copy. Your way is good but i want a better, if not i will try your way
Andrew’s got the right idea here. The alternative would be to suspend all but the first task so that only the first task is available, then resume them afterwards.
You could also version your scene files in your first system instead of using Deadline’s ‘submit scene file’ feature, though that would involve some more re-working of your existing workflow.
