Hi, everyone.

 

So, I create a simple test scene with MASH for random and distribute simple cubes. Then I create a new empty scene and reference the previous scene in it. Then I do batch-rendering from GUI. Everything works fine.

 

However, since we use render farm management software, this scene needs to be openned via MayaBatch.exe. Thus, I tried open the scene via command line. Now MayaBatch cannot even open the mentioned scene and without any error.

 

Please note that this happen even before I send it to render farm.

 

The real question is can I even open scene with MASH as references via MayaBatch?

I did this is to test a workflow for my upcoming project. Please help.

 

I attach the scene files here. It is just simple cubes and spheres actually.

Got the exact same problem here. If the MASH is referenced, it does not open on Deadline, import that same ref in the scene, renders just fine.
