V-Ray for Cinema 4D and Deadline Logging

[jensl]

Hello,

This question is half V-Ray half deadline, but I thought I'd try here first. I have V-Ray 6-20-02 and Cinema 4D R2024-4-0 working in Deadline 10-3-2-1, however I am not getting any logging on the deadline side (like what's in the VFB 'Log' pane). There's some basic info from Cinema, but not from V-Ray, but it doesn't seem to be connected to the verbosity settings in C4D Prefs - Renderer - V-Ray - Logging. I noticed to deadline there's V-Ray 5+ and not 6, but I don't think much has changed there so that's probably not the issue. I've verified the frames are rendered by V-Ray as expected via the exr metadata.

Here's an example of some of the info from the deadline render log, to task completion:

STDOUT: JSON file already generated
STDOUT: Rendering frame 10 at date
STDOUT: Rendering Phase: Setup
STDOUT: Progress: 0%
STDOUT: Progress: 100%
...
STDOUT: Progress: 100%
STDOUT: Progress: 0%
STDOUT: Progress: 4%
STDOUT: Progress: 19%
STDOUT: Progress: 24%
STDOUT: Progress: 35%
STDOUT: Progress: 45%
STDOUT: Progress: 51%

STDOUT: Progress: 70%
STDOUT: Progress: 79%
STDOUT: Progress: 88%
STDOUT: Progress: 95%
STDOUT: Progress: 100%
STDOUT: Progress: 0%
STDOUT: Progress: 18%
STDOUT: Progress: 100%
STDOUT: Progress: 0%
STDOUT: Progress: 100%
INFO: Task Overall Progress: 100.0%
STDOUT: Rendering Phase: Finalize
STDOUT: Rendering successful: 8 sec.
STDOUT: Warning: Unknown arguments: true
INFO: Process exit code: 0
INFO: Finished Cinema 4D Task
Done executing plugin command of type 'Render Task' z​

There's no mention of V-Ray in the log outside of envars and loading the plugin, if I use the V-Ray Output System in Common, the logs sometimes have a few lines about that:

INFO: Render Tasks called
INFO: Pre Build Script
INFO: Validating the path: 'output'
INFO: Rendering main output to network drive
INFO: Validating the path: 'output'
INFO: Rendering VRay 5 output to network drive​

Thanks,

Jens
