Vray DOF Settings - Animated Values Overwritten

Deadline
1

We have noticed that when you animate certain render settings (such as DOF Aperture in Vray), those values get overwritten with a fixed number on Deadline. I assume this is due to certain parameters being applied to each task from the Deadline Job Settings vs. what’s actually in the scene file. Is there any way to around this, like a flag to ignore specific fields in the job settings?

Thanks,
Mitch

Hey Mitch,

To workaround the problem for now, you can prevent Deadline from doing this by disabling the VRay option under the Options tab in the 3dsmax submitter.

Would it be possible for you to post a simple test scene that reproduces the problem? We can figure out which setting(s) that are getting screwed up and fix it for the next release.

Thanks!

Ryan,

Hello old friend! Wow, I never realized that’s what those checkboxes were for. Assumed for some reason they turned off support for the renderer altogether :slight_smile: I’ll hammer out a simple scene and send your way.

Thanks,
Mitch
