What's new in Qube 6.8 Jobtypes

    Autodesk VRED Sequencer


    The new VRED jobtype is based on the Sequencer functionality in VRED; if you can describe your task or workflow in the Sequencer, Qube can run one, several, or all of the VRED sequences described in the scene's Sequencer.

    This jobtype is a "Load Once" jobtype, where a copy of VRED is started up and then python commands are sent to the running copy of VRED.  The VRED scene is only loaded once at job startup on each Qube worker, and then one or more tasks are performed by each copy of VRED.  The scene is unloaded and VRED exits only when the entire job is complete.

    Support is provided for VRED Sequences that render both still frames and animation frame ranges.

    Submission is performed from inside VRED; the older HTML submission interface has been retired.

    ==== CL 14609 ====
    @CHANGE: adjusted code to reflect unexpected/undocumented change in arguments to a v-ray routine (in vrayDR.mel), vraySaveServersInfo(), provided by Chaos Group.

    New code should still provide backwards compatibility for v-ray 2.x.

    ==== CL 14347 ====
    @FIX: set MAYA_DISABLE_CIP env var to 1, to disable "customer involvement program" feature, to work around Maya 2016 jobs on Linux crashing at launch.

    ==== CL 14343 ====
    @FIX: add code for vray renders to respect "File Name Prefix" override.

    Apparently, vray has its own setting, "vraySettings.fileNamePrefix", and
    doesn't respect Maya's "defaultRenderGlobals.imageFilePrefix" setting.

    @FIX: cosmetic issue where empty output folders get created when there are multiple layers in the scene, AND imageFilePrefix contains slashes to create subdirs.
