Deadline 6

Az idei Siggraph-en fogják bemutatni az új Deadline-t. Ezek a főbb feature-ök (további infóért katt a képre):

• Redesigned GUI: New interface allows efficient and complete control over how data is viewed and the data is constantly live so there is almost zero refresh delay.
• Back-end Flexibility: Redesigned back-end architecture supports multiple database models for broad scalability and data security.
• Cloud Support: Integrates with third party cloud services so users can now directly control and manipulate remote slave renderers.
• Improved Cross-Platform Compatibility: Completely revised interface across all platforms enables a consistent, robust and flexible user experience across Linux, Windows and Mac OS.

Deadline 5

A mostani NAB-on mutatjak be a Deadline 5-ot aminek a fobb ujdonsagai a kovetkezok:

-       Remote Mode: Allows companies to control and manage massive global render farms across multiple worldwide facilities, from one remote office. 

-       Deadline Mobile for iPhone and Android: Enables users to monitor their Deadline jobs from anywhere.

-       Auto Configuration: Slaves can pull their configuration information such as repository and license server settings from Pulse each time they launch, improving system rollout times and repository relocations.

-       Improved User Security: Prevent users from impersonating others by configuring Deadline to use the system user as the Deadline user. 

-       Monitor Interface Improvements: Save and load Monitor layouts, use the new Slave Availability Filter to diagnose job problems, and view job statistics and save them to disk using the improved Graphing controls.

Deadline error handling

Most jottem ra, hogy a

\DeadlineRepository\plugins\MayaBatch\MayaBatch.py

egyik resze felelos azert, hogy melyik error-ra hogyan reagal a deadline.

Peldaul nekunk volt egy olyan shaderpara ami miatt a specularShadow pass tele lett NaN-al a pHairTK shadernel. A fent emlitett python script

def HandleErrorMessage( self ):

fuggvenyeben lehet custom error-okat megadni:

elif( errorMessage.find( "p_HairTK shader return NaN or infinite" ) != -1 ):

      ignoreError = False

es ezek utan automatikusan ujrarendereli a deadline az amugy is hibas frame-eket.

Na mindegy csak gondoltam hasznos lehet annak aki deadline-t hasznal.
