v3.0 3dsMax support

[feature request]
Please add VRay v3.0 compatibility to 3dsMax. I believe the release date for VRay 3.0 is very similar to Deadline v6.1

The public beta now available shows the new UI. It would be nice if the Deadline job properties *.options UI framework was extended to allow the same UI elements as the normal Deadline scripting API UI framework. If this was done, then the RC properties tab for say, 3dsMax jobs when VRay is used, could be made visually very similar to the existing VRay UI design. ie: allow buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, etc. [BASIC] / [ADVANCED]

I’ve always found that as useful as the post-submission render settings via job properties is for a Deadline job. Just trying to find the correct setting without any visual clues from a vaguely similar UI design from where I set the original setting is challenging to say the least. If I’m finding it tricky to use, then I’ll throw it out there, that most artists will dismiss it and just sit there, re-submitting the same job over and over…with just a minor change.

On a similar note, if the UI framework for the “configure event plugins” form allowed all the Deadline UI framework elements, then I can think of something awesome stuff that I’d add here as well :slight_smile:

Even better, allow QT UI customisation throughout Deadline’s UI to a degree…let’s not carried away here… :laughing:

We should be able to ensure that vray 3.0 is supported for 6.1, but the rest will probably be a little ways off. :slight_smile:
