Hi, we're on the latest version of Vray 2.
There's a thread here on Deadline's forums which explains the problem - http://forums.thinkboxsoftware.com/v...11496&start=10 As you can see Thinkbox suspect the problem lies with Vray as Deadline seems to be submitting the correct frames.
Basically, when you submit a Maya job with render layers and layer overrides set on the start and end frames of each render layer, jobs submitted using Vray render the wrong frames. Deadline will submit separate jobs for each render layer.
Test scenario:
2 render layers in Maya
Render layer 1 has layer overrides set for start and end frame in Render Settings (1-10)
Render layer 2 has layer overrides set for start and end frame in Render Settings (5-15)
Submit job to Deadline and set 'task size' to 5. Check 'Submit Render Layers as Separate Jobs'.
Deadline submits 2 jobs with 2 tasks for job 1 (1-5, 6-10) and 3 tasks for job 2 (5-9, 10-14, 15).
For Job 1, task 1 - Deadline then renders frames 1-10 (should be frames 1-5)
For Job 1, task 2 - Deadline then renders frames 1-10 again (should be frames 6-10)
For Job 2, task 1 - Deadline then renders frame 5-9 (correct)
For Job 2, task 2 - Deadline then renders frame 5-9 (should be frames 10-14)
For Job 2, task 3 - Deadline then renders frame 5-9 (should be frame 15)
Is there a fix for this or a better way of working or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Chris
