18.0.184

TOP Deadline scheduler has been updated with the following changes:

  • Now schedules PDG work items as tasks under a single PDG job.
  • Uses new custom PDGDeadline plugin instead of Deadline's CommandLine

plugin. This adds support for tasks, and removes the need for the pre job script.

  • Overhaul of node parm interface for better usability. Simplified working

directory parms, removed hython parm (now based off HFS), added extra Deadline job properties, locked away Repository fields.

  • Uses PDGMQ server and relay server to workaround network issues.
  • Utilizes single interactive Deadline command process for scheduling,

status querying, and stopping job during cook. -Added support for $PDG_EXE which is mapped on Slave machine before work is executed. This automatically adds .exe on Windows required by Deadline.

  • Now displays the correct task log/error report for work item

from the Show Log option in the Task Info.

  • Can now specify job name via parm.
  • Submit As Job now supported.
  • Tasks can now inherit local environment and work item environment.
  • Work items' status now updates in real-time.
  • Better error handling and better performance.
  • Added support for HOUDINI_MAXTHREADS.
  • Updated node help documentation with latest changes.

Bend SOP "Reverse Capture" toggle is now a button. Added another button "Snap to Bounding Box" which preserves the capture direction but snaps the beginning and end of the capture region to meet the bounding box of the geometry. This makes it easy to set a capture region which exactly covers the entire geometry.
