render path is bad idea

 

 

Really? it's super handy when doing RND, and it general a great way of knowing where a specific render came from..

 

I've used this method in several studios, never had a problem before.

 

Out of curiosity how do you then track your scenes down if not using HIPNAME?

ok. never use it in my practice.

In this case you absolutely can determine from which scene you get render :))) profit! No problem here

One other thing little request.

 

When the job is on the farm, you should be able to right click on the task and.... Job Output > View output > Sequence.exr

 

If you click on Sequence.exr you are then able to play the sequence in your preferred player (RV, DJV)

 

It is my understanding that the submitter script must specify a job output file so that you can see this option.

Is it possible to copy the file, but leave the hipname intact?

This used to work great but I don't think it likes Deadline8? 

My Executable is located here: C:/Program Files/Thinkbox/Deadline8/bin/deadlinecommand.exe

But when I try to render it says "Please point to the correct deadlinecommand.exe"

Any chance this could be updated? It's been really useful.

oh, this is aftermath of my deadline customisations. nativly deadline doesn't support minor versions of Houdini like "15.5". only round version numbers supported.

I'm edit some deadline config files in (see screenshots)

%DEALINE_REPOSITORY%/plugins/Houdini:
Houdini.param
Houdini.dlinit

 

second file (Houdini.dlinit) you may edit from deadline super user mode. Now i'm use version 7 of dedline and cannot normally tested version 8.
