Phoenix FD Backburner Simulation

[rporter8555]

Please change backburner "Wait to render" default from 600 to 60,000.
My ship/ocean sim takes longer than 10 hours, so I always launch the backburner simulation "Submit the Job Suspended" so I can log in to the simulation slave and edit job settings manually before activating the job.

Thanks!

Sadly, we can't. For some reason there is no MaxScript interface for this. We could do it if we change the way we call backburner, but then there will be other features lost, e.g. you'd have to always copy the submitted scene to a shared folder on the network like with backburner for maya, which is now handled automatically, etc.

Right now you could submit the job suspended and fix the timeout. Our submission scripts are open, so anyone can take a look and see how the submit works, so if anyone knows a way to do it, please do share. To me right now it seems like there just isn't a function or a property for the timeout on the maxscript job object...

Hey Svetlin,
Thank you for taking time to look at this and comment. Hopefully there is a solution out there.
