CG农场渲染软件：Thinkbox Deadline v10.0.27.2 Win x64

对于这个软件，大家肯定很陌生，如果SSS说起3DMAX的粒子渲染插件Krakatoa，那么大家就很熟悉了，是的，Deadline也是Thinkbox公司的，一个非常强大的控制渲染农场的程序。

Thinkbox Deadline经常用于电视节目，电影，创建高级视觉效果的软件，软件可以帮助我们加快工作流程，优化生产流程，软件还有个监控模块，可以保存预先创建好的布局，负责监控任务的过滤器，可以尽快解决分配的任务。

截止日期使用AWS Portal与AWS集成，AWS Portal是一组集合的截止日期功能，使我们可以更轻松地将本地呈现扩展到AWS， 一旦渲染管道与AWS集成，就可以在几分钟内将渲染工作负载扩展到数百甚至数千个核心，达到智能渲染管理控制，并且还可以快速缩小，提供令人难以置信的计算弹性和成本控制。

有了Deadline农场管理的过程中我们的工作效率将被提上一个新的台阶，并且由于配置参数的不断优化，所以系统部署所耗费的时间至少减少到三个。

更新日志：

General Improvements

• Added a new “KeepWorkerRunning” option for the Deadline Client INI file (deadline.ini). When enabled, the Deadline Launcher will ensure the Worker is always running on the machine, and restart it if necessary.
• Fixed an “Unknown Fields” warning that could occur during job submission when not using the AWS Portal feature.

AWS Portal Improvements

• Added a new “Resource Tracker” service that monitors the health of instances started by Deadline in your AWS account.

Monitor Improvements

• If an error occurs when trying to stream a Worker log, a proper error is now displayed, instead of just failing silently.

Worker Improvements

• Fixed an issue with Concurrent Tasks where the Worker would skip over some of the tasks and leave them in a “Waiting to start” state.
• Fixed an issue that resulted in malformed information about Limits being logged in the Worker log.
• Fixed an issue that prevented Remote Commands from being executed by the Worker when it was running on the same machine that the command was issued from.
• A Minor error is no longer counted towards determining if a Worker should be marked as bad for a job. Note that error level is something that is configured via Deadline’s plugin API, and by default all errors are treated as Major errors.

Remote Connection Server Improvements

• Improved the error message on Windows when the RCS reports a namespace reservation error.
• Fixed an issue that could cause unnecessary folders and zip files to be created in the system temp folder.

Application Plugin Improvements

3ds Max

• Added support for 3ds Max 2020.

After Effects

• Fixed an issue for After Effects 2018 and later where Deadline would incorrectly fail the render if “Adding specified comp to Render Queue” was printed to the log during rendering.

Houdini

• Fixed a bug in the Houdini plugin that prevented Path Mapping from working properly.

Maya

• Fixed an issue that prevented the MayaCmd plugin from setting environment variables correctly.
• Fixed a syntax error in the integrated submitter that could occur after upgrading from Deadline 9 to Deadline 10.

Nuke

• Added support for Eddy for Nuke 2

V-Ray Standalone

• Fixed a path mapping issue that could occur with a vrscene file that had a lot of includes.
