Posted: Thu Oct 17, 2013 9:22 am Post subject: RR can't find files rendered with Clarisse/CNODE
Output paths in Clarisse are generally written like this: "//path/file.####", without an explicit file extension.
This causes RR to never finds the written files, and the render never completes as far as RR is concerned even though the files have been written successfully. This is because CNODE adds the file extension at render time, but I think RR assumes the file shouldn't have an extension because it's not part of the output string.
This becomes a problem because, if you do add the extension explicitly in Clarisse, it will tack on a second extension if you render locally, giving you "file.0001.exr.exr". So whatever I do, files rendered with RR and files rendered locally doesn't get the same file name.
The fix would probably just be that the <ImageExtension> is removed from the render config file.
I have logged the issue. _________________ Holger Schönberger

Edit:
I misunderstood.
The double extension is produced if you render without RR.
And you have to specify the extension in clarisse that RR finds the output.
The clarisse xml reader has to be updated.
There is some glitch in the current version. But there is a workaround for the bug.
Please use
file.#####
instead of
file.####
in your Clarisse file.
(Don't ask, but our test files has 5 paddings and somehow a function part was not tested with other paddings) _________________ Holger Schönberger

I just installed 6.02.21_7a, just wanted to say that the problems are still there. I can't get the same output from an RR render Vs. a local Clarisse render.
If I leave hashes out entierly, I get a working RR render, ie "file.####.exr", but then local renders end up like this: "file#####.ext".
If I explicitly say "file.#####" in Clarisse, RR wants to render to "file..####.exr". What I do at the moment is to manually remove the extra dot that appears in the submitter before sending the job.
I will recheck it with the double point.
But the extension problem should be fixed now. _________________ Holger Schönberger

I'm thinking about whether it's possible to create a script that launches the submitter with everything pre-filled instead of loading the scene through the submitter. I guess I'll take a look at the Nuke submitter script and see if I can modify it for Clarisse, that would be much neater
That was discussed with Isotropix.
Either create a rrSubmission script that writes an XML. (Like most of the rr submissions via a python xml class)
Which would require script commands to read all settings.
Or they output an XML in their own format and RR has to read that file.
They have choosen this one. _________________ Holger Schönberger

Ok, too bad. I'm fairly sure the first option can be done though. I already got a modified script inside Clarisse that sends data into the submitter, and it's substantially faster than calling CNODE -info. I'll try to make it work.
I also noticed that Clarisse.cfg may need to be updated, the current install path is:
c:\Program Files\Isotropix\Clarisse iFX 1.5 SP3\Clarisse\
so I added this line to make the submitter find cnode.exe correctly:
Path= OS; c:\Program Files\Isotropix*\Clarisse*\Clarisse\cnode.exe
I think one issue was that I asked for a scripted plugin. That you have a menu item to submit the job.
And that was not possible at that time.
How do you call your script within Clarisse? Do you have to browse each time to the script file?
If it is python, take a look at rrSubmit_Nuke_5.py, it shows you how you can create an xml and start the rrSubmitter.
If it is a better solution , I might offer both ways to submit. _________________ Holger Schönberger

I see, since v1.5 there's a tool shelf where custom commands can be accessed through buttons, so that should be possible now. Right, at the moment I'd have to browse for the script and run it, but I figure I should be able to add it to the shelf.
That's exactly what I did, seems the Nuke script is very close, and the submitter launches with the data I put into the xml class. I can extract frame data and that sort of stuff from the internal python helper class in Clarisse as well so I should be able to at least make a rudimentary proof of concept with that.

Here, I've created a working submitter script, it can be added manually to the shelf in Clarisse by right-clicking it and choosing "Add item" then browse for this python script. It's not fully featured I suppose, but it's a good start.

Many Thanks.
I have logged a ticket to fix the last issues with the script and install it with the WorkstationInstaller.
But for now the old scene parser will be fixed. _________________ Holger Schönberger
