Hi guys, we’ve started using VRay3 with Maya, the plugin and submission is working OK but Deadline isn’t picking up the new pathing/layers. E.g. when viewing output we end up with tags and Deadline isn’t following the path. Is this something that can be addressed in upcoming release?
/server/job/_render/img/light/demo_2//v011/_v011.0005.exr
Hey Brian,
We’ll definitely look into this. Any chance you could upload a very simple scene that reproduces the problem?
Thanks!
Ryan
Hey Brian,
I started looking into this, and I can’t seem to reproduce the problem. In the Maya render settings, under VRay Common, I set this for the output prefix:
/server/job/_render/img/light/demo_2/<Layer>/v011/<Layer>_v011.0005I then submitted the job to Deadline in 2 ways:
In both cases, the tag was swapped out in the output paths shown in the Monitor.
Just to confirm, are you submitting your jobs with the integrated submitter, or are you using a custom submitter? If it’s a custom one, you will have to manually replace the tags in the output path when specifying the OutputFileName# key/value pairs in the job info file. That’s what we do in our integrated Maya submitter. We use the “vrayTransformFilename” function to do this.
Cheers,
Ryan
Hi Ryan, we are using the integrated submitter. I see the output prefix is set correctly in Maya Render Globals, but the tags aren’t getting swapped when submitted to Deadline. We think this is an issue with VRay3 (we are on beta nightlies) we’re upgrading now and looking into this, thank you for pointing us in the right direction.
