Is there any way using rush to use a step rate with maya renders? I commonly render out slow versions of animations as tests using -b .5, etc. That doesn't work with rush. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Gary Jaeger // Core Studio + www.corestudio.com + |

The new submit-maya6 script in 102.42a6 supports both
floating point frame ranges, and stepped frame ranges
when batching.
Did you upgrade to 102.42a6 already?
If not, contact me directly and I'll supply you the upgrade info,
which is free to all existing customers.
If so, open the submit-maya6 interface, and click the "Help"
button at the bottom, and scroll to the section on
"Maya Floating Point Rendering", eg:
Maya Floating Point Rendering
-----------------------------
Here's an example of rendering with floating point frames.
Maya has the capability of rendering the frames 'between frames',
sometimes useful for motion blurring, or slowing the animation
of a sequence down by rendering images between frames:
Job Title: -- (Blank uses scene name)
Scene Path: //path/scenes/sc17a.ma -- Scene file to render
Renderer: maya(sw) -- Use Maya's software renderer
Threads: 1 -- One thread for each frame
Frames: 10.0-50.0,0.2 -- Render 10.0 - 50.0 stepping at 0.2
Batch Frames: 1 -- Renders 1 frame per machine
Cpus: +any=5 -- Use any 5 available cpus
This will create a job that generates a floating point frame list,
where Maya will write out 'integerized' frame numbers (with the
decimal points removed) that looks like eg:
Rush Frame Output Image
---------- ------------
0010.0 foo.0100.iff
0010.2 foo.0102.iff
0010.4 foo.0104.iff
:
0049.6 foo.0496.iff
0049.8 foo.0498.iff
0050.0 foo.0500.iff
When 'batching' is used, several floating point frames will be
rendered at a time, eg:
Frames: 10.0-50.0,0.2 -- Render 10.0 - 50.0 stepping at 0.2
Batch Frames: 5 -- Renders 5 frame per machine
..this will create a "batched frames" job that generates a frame list
for every 5th floating point frame, each of which will render 5 frames
at a time on each machine:
Rush Scene
Frame Frame Output Image
-------- _ ------- -------------
| 10.0 foo.0100.iff
| 10.2 foo.0102.iff
0010.0 --| 10.4 foo.0104.iff
| 10.6 foo.0106.iff
|_ 10.8 foo.0108.iff
_
| 11.0 foo.0110.iff
| 11.2 foo.0112.iff
0011.0 --| 11.4 foo.0114.iff
| 11.6 foo.0116.iff
|_ 11.8 foo.0118.iff
:
: _
| 49.0 foo.0490.iff
| 49.2 foo.0492.iff
0049.0 --| 49.4 foo.0494.iff
| 49.6 foo.0496.iff
|_ 49.8 foo.0498.iff
_
0050.0 --|_ 50.0 foo.0500.iff
--

Replying to this old thread to update regarding rendering
floating point frame ranges with Maya 2009 and up.
In Maya 2009 they dropped the -se/-be flags that the submit-maya
script used to handle floating point frame numbers.
So if you try to render floating point frame numbers with Maya 2009,
you'll get an error about the '-se' flag being uknown.
So if you're using Maya 2009 with floating point frames and getting
that error, find this line in the submit-maya.pl script:
$opt{MayaFlags} .= "-se $se -be $be ";
..and change it to read:
$opt{MayaFlags} .= "-rfs $se -rfb $be ";
..and that should solve it.
[THIS FIX IS IN RUSH 102.42a9b AND UP]
