aiImage node not ignoring missing files.

mail — Wed, 11 Apr 2018 16:17:50 GMT

Maya 2018, Arnold 5, Deadline 10

We have a problem whereby when rendering a scene with aiImage nodes referencing UDIMs(some of which do not exist), causes our deadline render to fail.

We have tried enabling "ignore missing tiles" on the aiImage node, but the errors are still being raised when submitted to deadline and this causes the job to fail.

Rendering locally works fine as the errors get raised, but the render continues to completion.

Is there any way to silence this error, get the aiImage node to actually ignore missing udims, or force deadline to ignore errors?

Thanks

Hi @mail

This is largely an issue on Deadlines side so I would highly recommend contacting ThinkBox on this to see what their support can do to help you!

If they do manage to narrow it down to an issue with specifically with Maya please let me know and I'll be happy to work with you further!
