Maya Composite 2010 / Toxik 2010 Template (no replies)

dsliter — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 17:43:50 +0100

We are currently creating at Maya Composite 2010 / Toxik 2010 Template for Muster 5.5.7. We are about 99% there but are having a problem in the way the Toxik submits its renders vrs. the way Muster submits the job. When you tell Toxik to render frame range 1-10 it actually is rendering frames 1-9. So basically how it works is that we are missing a frame for every chunk in Muster. We currently have a support call into Autodesk but were wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem and if there are any suggestions.

Thanks
Dieter

Maya 2010 Mental ray rendering (4 replies)

jeffm365 — Tue, 25 May 2010 13:21:05 +0200

HI,
I am trying to set up the Muster farm to batch render with Mental ray for Maya 2010.

Has anyone had any luck setting up their farm with Maya 2010 mental ray? It works well with the software renderer, but can't get it to work for mental ray.

I have installed the Maya mental ray satellite software on the render node, but still is not calling mr.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

trouble getting vray template to work (2 replies)

TimForbes — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:49:39 +0200

Hi all,
I am currently trying to test out vray with muster. It seems vray is fairly well intergrated with maya command line rendering so I pretty much created an altered mental ray template, changing for vray where necessary.
My problem is that I cant get the new vray template to show up in the explorer. The new template has a new UID, and has been copied into the template folder on the local machine and on the server. I have done a soft restart of the server and restarted the local machine. I'm pretty sure I'm overlooking something simple, so if anyone has any ideas to help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Tim Forbes.

Removing unused templates from list (1 reply)

StefanAlbertz — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:11:29 +0200

Is there a way to remove unused (not needed) templates from the pull down list inside muster explorer? I removed the templates from the "templates" directory in the dispatcher already, but they still appear in the pull down lists. Dispatcher Soft-Restart is already done.

Thanks in advance
Stefan

Toxik Template (1 reply)

StefanAlbertz — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:06:25 +0200

Hello,

the newly included Toxik Template - should that be used with an installed full version of toxik, or is it safe to "just" do the render-node installation of toxik and use it with the template? (until today we used muster purely for maya rendering)

thanks in advance
Stefan

custom template - network drive (2 replies)

frankbarton — Wed, 06 May 2009 20:15:53 +0200

hi!we have a single frame ( with slicing ) template for our render engine. that renders nicely but it seems it has problems at assembly time.

muster invariably tells that it cannot find the first slice while assembling, but the file ( exactly as it says it looks for it in the logs ) does actually exist.
we're a bit puzzled and we think it may be a problem with the path being on a mapped network drive ...
is there a way to tell muster where to look for the slices ( with an absolute path , in order to use unc) ?
any hints?

thanks a lot in advance!

Submit Render layers seperately (2 replies)

radobe — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:05:18 +0200

I want to submit render layers as seperate muster render jobs. Since the Maya submission script does not offer this option, i need help to get it to work.

I already tweaked the muster.mel script to send one job for each renderable render layer. The only problem that i have is, that muster does not care at all about my additional flag that i added to the mrtool command line:

part of the MEL code (i just added the part from -attr on)

$cmdline = $cmdline + "-v 3 -n \"" + $jobname + "\" -f \"" + MS_Proc_ToOsPath($pubscene) + "\" -proj \"" + MS_Proc_ToOsPath($publishRoot) + "\" -attr ADDPARAMS \"-rl " + $renderLayers1[$i] + "\" 0";

When i send the job, the muster output states this:

- Spawning Mrtool with the following parameters: -b -s fbbserver2 -port 7681 -u "renderuser" -p "" -sf 1 -ef 200 -bf 1 -attr MAYADIGITS 4 0 -se 1 -st 1 -e 2 -pool "QUAD" -pk 50 -pr 1 -max 0 -v 3 -n "layerTestScene" -f "X:\project\scenes\layertest.mb" -proj "X:\scenes\project" -attr ADDPARAMS "-rl layer3" 0

Now when i look on the render job in the muster explorer, there is no additional flag set on the render jobs, although i explicitly added "-rl" with the appropriate layer name.

I need a hint what to do, adding these -rl lines to every job manually is no option.

-edit-

got it to work, was the wrong parameter.

nonetheless the connector script could use some more love of you guys. Render output location should be part of the window gui and all this publishing is unnecessary if you just want to leave your file where it is. Also texture checking is nice, but should be an option and not a must every time you want to submit a job.

Custom XSI 6.5 Template not working (3 replies)

lululog — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:03:44 +0200

Hi,

I'm currently evaluating Muster for our company. I'd like to create a new template for XSI 6.5, so I've copied the XSI template that comes with Muster, changed name, uid and adjusted the commandline for XSI 6.5. Then I copied the template over to the dispatcher, restarted dispatcher and clients and configured the template on the clients.
Everything fine so far. The template shows up in the Explorer and I can submit jobs, but the client never starts rendering. XSI 6.5 is listed in the supported templates for the client.
Did I miss anything or are custom templates not supported in the evaluation version?

how to configure Maya Mr template for 8 threads (4 replies)

romeu — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 13:54:37 +0200

Hi,

We are trying to configure the template of Maya Mr in a dual quadcore, and we would like to use 8 threads, but the options only go up to 4.

one solutions we tried was to set up the machine as 2 instances of the same machine, with 4 threads each. The problem with that is the used RAM of two single processes would really go up and slow everything down or freeze the machine.

Is there a way to change the Maximum threads to 8?

thanks.

Is there a script for rendering with Blender under Muster?

final render for maya (1 reply)

also when i type: mayabatch -command finalRender -file "..." everything is ok in the commandline.

we also use newer maya versions but without the final render plugin, and if i don't specify the maya7.0 mayabatch.exe but the one for maya2008 (by default) then it says: Error: Cannot find procedure "finalRender".

but the error-log says its using the maya7.0 mayabatch.exe so i really can't figure out what went wrong...

thx in advance

Clarification of some Template engine commands please (1 reply)

SimonOld — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 19:21:45 +0200

Would someone like to clarify the function of the following aspects of templates for me, please. I read the relevant section in the manual which helped enormously, but there are still a couple of things that I don't understand fully.

Partial answers more than welcome!!

1) DETECTION_LOGIC & DETECTION_LOGIC_PROC - any ideas how to identify the correct settings here for software running on Apple Mac OS X ?

2) GUESSPROJECTPATH etc - what is the syntax for these commands and how do the relate to other variables and the Explorer submission dialogue - my understanding is very patchy - I can see that PATH_BUILDER is a reserved keyword but that's about it.

3) MAP commands - I'm unclear when I need to use these to map values with certain Muster internal ones. How does it work? Does muster use MAP to substitute its own values for specific chunks, and use the value ADDed in the DECLARE SUBMISSION session as parameters from which to calculate the internal values?

4) With the "submission and command builder supported items" I don't understand the purpose of some of the options...
i) ACTIVABLE/NOTACTIVABLE - what do these options do?
ii) MANDATORY/NOTMANDATORY - ditto. Although I could probably hazard a guess.
iii) SUBST/NOSUBST - again, I have no idea what these do.
iv) Filter lists - the examples I have seen have all been file lists, and I assume that these apply to file selection dialogue boxes to make life easier for end users. However, what is the relevance of these on the OS X platform? I note that in the Maya template for the Engine_Mac section the MAYAEXECUTABLE FILE_SELECTOR hasa filter of *.exe

Apologies if I have missed obvious clues and explanations elsewhere on any of these questions. Any comments that might help me, nomatter how small or focussed, gratefully accepted.

Lightwave Template for Mac OS... (no replies)

Hey all,

I'm knew to muster and in need of help!! I don't know where to start in setting up the Lightwave template to render on Muster 5.4 running under Mac OS 10.5.

I haven't set any variables under the "decline engine_mac" line in the template and still just have:

SET PLATFORM_ENABLED 0

Does anyone have any help they can offer or a working Mac Lightwave template that I could use/see to get an idea of how i should be setting it up??

Frame Check (1 reply)

gagn — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 19:23:06 +0200

I can´t seem to make the Frame Check function work.

I enter the following in the "Image name prefix and path" field:
\\server\projekt\images\Close_FallOff\Close_FallOff

when the filename is Close_FallOff.####.iff

and Muster says - "Dispatcher wasn´t able to find at least one good frame"

What is wrong? I´ve also tried adding a dot at the end, but no difference.

Please advice.

some questions about the templates (1 reply)

alexx — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 21:02:12 +0200

hi leo,

after quite some time i just downloaded 5.3 to see what is new around muster.

quite impressing to see the changes since 4.45.

- is there something like a template editor in muster or is it all "by hand typing"?
- i miss the old user and custom jobs and especially the user job editor which was quite nice and easy to use. do i have to write a template for each and every user job now?

one last question (i know.. wrong forum):
is it possible to submit several single threaded jobs to one machine? e.g.: we have a software that only runs on one processor. can muster run this software 4 times on a quad machine with 4 seperate threads?

cheers & thanx

alex

edit: and please in the next release: be sure the "processors usage" field can handle dual Quad machines with 8 processors :)

Maya Render Layer Overrides (2 replies)

stwagtaff — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 16:59:46 +0200

I have render settings overrides set for many render layers, including overrides on a per-layer basis for Start Frame, End Frame and Start Number. This allows me to render only a short frame range for each of the items that appear in the scene for only part of the animation, rather than rendering 2000 frames of blank images for every layer. However, the entire Muster frame range is getting rendered for each layer, now matter how I set this up or what template I try to use (MR, Maya SW, or Maya Layer).
Any workarounds?
Thanks,
Sean

Need help with command line rendering asap (3 replies)

Tmart — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 02:30:09 +0200

hey - so I know absolutely nothing about command line rendering, but I'm smart enough to figure it out with some help. Here's my situation:

I have a muster-based render farm and we are trying out a new beta plugin of Vray for maya. I am pretty sure the plugin supports a command-line render but I'm not sure exactly how it works. I am waiting for support from them on their end for that. from you guys I'd love a clear explanation of how to set up a new custom template for this renderer (if possible) and whether I need to load files onto each node or how that works. Thanks again! this is for a film project so the deadlines are tight!

Run System commands (4 replies)

Markus — Wed, 30 May 2007 00:52:39 +0200

Hey there.
I just wondered, if it's possible to make Muster perform a system command like "copy" or "delete" on a specific machine.
The task is to move a computed file from a local computer to a network folder after it's created in Maya via Muster.
So the workflow would be like:
1. Render the data file in Maya on one machine
2. Copy the generated file from the local computer to a server
3. Use the copied file for a new rendering

I know that it's possible to set dependencies for jobs, so the main question is how to run system commands as a job via the Muster Submission Panel.
Any advices are welcome!

Thanks,

Markus
