Once the render completes, an entry with these options is added to the selected project management database. Deadline allows the user to set the user, project, task, asset, show, description, and a variety of other options directly from within Cinema 4D. Artists can submit a rendered sequence and automatically add it as an entry to their project management application. INTEGRATION WITH SHOTGUN, FTRACK, AND NIMĭeadline’s Cinema 4D support integrates with Shotgun, FTrack, and NIM project management applications. See the Draft and Integration Submission Options for more information. Run custom Python scripts to process the output images.Perform color space conversions of output images.Resave output images as a different format or in a different resolution.Composite image slates to rendered images.A large variety of encoding codecs and encoding quality options are available. Convert a sequence of Cinema 4D renders to an encoded video.Draft has many functions as a compositing application, such as: Draft is accessible via the “Pipeline Tools” options in the Deadline submitter (or under the “Integration” tab prior to Deadline version 8.1).Ī typical use for Draft is to automatically produce preview video files of rendered images.
DEADLINE DRAFT IN CINEMA 4Dĭeadline’s Draft application is a light-weight compositing program that is integrated into the Cinema 4D plugin. Support for Jigsaw inside of Cinema 4D is planned for a future version of Deadline. Deadline handles creating the regions and recombining the image independently of the chosen renderer.ĭeadline also has a more advanced form of region rendering called Jigsaw. This tile rendering functionality even works for renderers that don’t explicitly support tile rendering. Once each tile has completed rendering, Deadline recombines the tiles into a single image. Deadline splits up a single frame into a user-defined number of tiles that are rendered concurrently across many Deadline Workers. REGION RENDERING IN CINEMA 4Dĭeadline includes support for basic Tile Rendering inside of Cinema 4D. In addition to rendering image sequences, Deadline’s Cinema 4D support includes many additional features, which are covered below. Then click on the Cinema4D Settings option of the left to view and modify the Cinema 4D specific options.ĪDDITIONAL CINEMA 4D FEATURES IN DEADLINE This can be done by right-clicking on the job and selecting Modify Properties. CHANGING SETTINGS AFTER SUBMISSIONĪfter submitting a Cinema 4D render to Deadline, users are able to modify a selection of render attributes, such as image output filename, image resolution, and the Take name, directly from the Deadline Monitor application. Artists can also submit the currently selected Take, or have every Take be submitted as separate Deadline jobs. Artists can set up various Takes inside of their scenes, and submit individual Takes to Deadline. In addition to all the standard set of parameters, Deadline’s Cinema 4D support also ties into Cinema’s new “Take” system that was introduced in R17. This set of parameters specifies the frame range, the group of Deadline Workers that are allowed to render, the priority of the job, dependent Deadline jobs, and more. Simply enable the "Use Batch Plugin" option when submitting the job to Deadline.ĭeadline has a standard set of submission options available to all plugins, which are described in the Job Submission Documentation. This allows users to submit multiple frames per task and save the overhead of reloading the scene between frames. When rendering with this mode, Cinema 4D and the loaded scene file will stay in memory in between frames of the same job. Information about installing the integrated submitter and using both submission interfaces can be found in the Deadline Cinema 4D Documentation.ĭeadline's Cinema 4D plugin supports a mode known as "Batch Rendering". Users can also submit a previously saved Cinema 4D scene file to Deadline directly though the Deadline Monitor application without the need to open Cinema 4D. This allows Deadline to pull information about the scene like frame ranges, render output filenames, and Take lists. SUBMITTING A CINEMA 4D SCENE TO DEADLINEĭeadline has an integrated submission plugin built inside of Cinema 4D that allows users to submit their scenes directly to Deadline.
Note that Deadline supports Cinema 4D R12 and later.
It has a number of very useful features which are covered in this blog entry, so if you’re a Cinema 4D user, or you’re just feeling curious, keep on reading! It’s easy to use, and allows the user to focus on their work and offload the rendering from the user’s workstations. Version: Deadline 8.0 and 8.1 (note that 8.1 is still in beta) INTRODUCTIONĭeadline has fully featured support for Cinema 4D.
