Ubuntu 24 , c4d 2024.5.1, Deadline10.3 - how to set the right environment variables for a client

[thomastraum]

I am trying to get deadline running on a linxu machine. rather painful as expected.

this works locally on the node

cd /opt/maxon/cinema4dr2024.501/bin && . ./setup_c4d_env
/opt/maxon/cinema4dr2024.501/bin/Commandline -render /mnt/x/deadtest/cube-01.c4d

when I try to render through deadline client the same file it launches c4d but then just stists there until it times out. I noticed that the ENV variables are likely wrong ( set above in the manual comand, these ones are correct)

Working setup:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/maxon/cinema4dr2024.501/bin/…/lib64:/opt/maxon/cinema4dr2024.501/bin/…/bin/resource/modules/python/libs/python311.linux64.framework/lib64

Deadline setup:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/maxon/cinema4dr2024.501/bin/…/lib64:/opt/maxon/cinema4dr2024.501/bin/resource/modules/python/Python.linux64.framework/lib64:/opt/maxon/cinema4dr2024.501/bin/resource/modules/embree.module/libs/linux64

why is it using python2.7? I thought python3 should now be working, I have Deadline Client Version: 10.3.2.1 Release (1a66fe40f)
https://docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/products/deadline/10.3/1_User%20Manual/manual/python-upgrade.html?highlight=python

here is the log from the client until it jsut stops.

I talk to myself about this here, would love to see it implemented into Deadline…

Cinema 4D linux command line render ?

Full Command: "/opt/maxon/cinema4dr2025.000/bin/Commandline" -nogui -noopengl -redshift-license-maxon-disable -redshift-log-console Debug "-DeadlineConnect 42507 1726138833 '/var/lib/Thinkbox/Deadline10/workers/et-ws-lin-03/jobsData/66e1b30e7632c8e160c10fd6/importTest_temp04Y4I0/importCheck.txt'" I don’t know what the DeadlineConnect part is doing, but the script c4d_Batch_Script.py gets stuck and starts with the following code #!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: utf-16-le -*- import c4d from c…

hey @anthonygelatka I have trouble following your post but lets sort this out. I managed to get very far. I think the last hurdle might be something else.

loaded redshift everything as if I launched it manually then stopped and timed out:

my idea:

c4d documentation mentions to load the env variables before loading a job from the file setup_c4d_env

cd /opt/maxon/cinema4dr2024.501/bin && . ./setup_c4d_env
/opt/maxon/cinema4dr2024.501/bin/Commandline -render /mnt/x/deadtest/cube-01.c4d

I noticed that the Cinema4DBatch.py script doesn’t have the right env variables.

what I did:

1. I modified the script in \\your-server\DeadlineRepository10\plugins\Cinema4DBatch called Cinema4DBatch.py in Line 222 with the correct ENV VARS from c4d documentation.

        # correct environment variables for Linux
        # /opt/maxon/cinema4dr2024.501/bin
        # C4D_BASE=$PWD/..
        # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$C4D_BASE/lib64:$C4D_BASE/bin/resource/modules/python/libs/python311.linux64.framework/lib64
        # export PATH=$PATH:$C4D_BASE/bin
        # export LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
        # export PYTHONPATH=$C4D_BASE/bin/resource/modules/python/libs/python311.linux64.framework/lib/python3.11/lib-dynload


        if SystemUtils.IsRunningOnLinux() and self.Plugin.GetBooleanConfigEntryWithDefault( "SetLinuxEnvironment", True ):
            c4dDir = os.path.dirname( self.Cinema4DRenderExecutable )
            c4dBase = os.path.dirname(c4dDir)  # Get parent directory as C4D_BASE
            ldPath = os.environ.get( "LD_LIBRARY_PATH", "" )
            pyPath = os.environ.get( "PYTHONPATH", "" )
            path = os.environ.get( "PATH", "" )
            
            modLdPath = "%s/lib64:%s/bin/resource/modules/python/libs/python311.linux64.framework/lib64" % (c4dBase, c4dBase)
            modPyPath = "%s/bin/resource/modules/python/libs/python311.linux64.framework/lib/python3.11/lib-dynload" % c4dBase
            modPath = "%s:%s/bin" % (path, c4dBase)
            
            self.Plugin.LogInfo( "[C4D_BASE] set to %s" % c4dBase )
            self.Plugin.LogInfo( "[LD_LIBRARY_PATH] set to %s" % modLdPath )
            self.Plugin.LogInfo( "[PYTHONPATH] set to %s" % modPyPath )
            self.Plugin.LogInfo( "[PATH] set to %s" % modPath )
            self.Plugin.SetProcessEnvironmentVariable( "LD_LIBRARY_PATH", modLdPath )
            self.Plugin.SetProcessEnvironmentVariable( "PYTHONPATH", modPyPath )
            self.Plugin.SetProcessEnvironmentVariable( "PATH", modPath )
            self.Plugin.SetProcessEnvironmentVariable( "LC_NUMERIC", "en_US.UTF-8" )

it launches further then into redshift but then loads the job and then… does nothing.

here it stops…

No really answer to your problem but Deadline has mechanism of setting environment before plugin is loaded. It automatically starts JobPreLoad.py (if this file exists in your plugin) where you can set your environment variables or call an external system file where you do it. More info here Application Plugins — Deadline 10.4.0.10 documentation
