Render Manager for NUKE in MAC OSX

[menthor]

i dont understand why, send2qmaster dont work anymore on my computer (macbook pro nuke 5.1v5)
how did people install it ?

[lookfx]

To install in the menu.py you need to add the following lines near the top right under import nuke. Make sure to change the path to wherever your script resides.

sys.path.append('//server/share/send2rush.py')
import send2Rush

I choose to add the Rush Menu next to the Help Menu on Top. So I added the following lines after the #Help Menu section and before m = nuke.menu("Animation");

#Rush Menu
m = menubar.addMenu("&Rush")
m.addCommand("&Submit", "send2Rush.send2Rush()", "")

Modify the send2qmaster script to add a path to your rush submit nuke script, and pull in any other variables you want. Then modify the cmd in send2Qmaster to run your rush submit script with the set fields. For example:
cmd = 'perl %s -field NukeScript \"%s\" -field Frames %s-%s -field BatchFrames %s -field JobTitle %s' % (rush_path,nk_script,first_frame,last_frame,batch_ step,'')

BIG BIG Thanks to ygor for the nuke.root().knob stuff (ie. script path, frames range, etc...)

Hope that helps.

thanks for your answer but what is send2rush ?

I've install like it:
import send2Qmaster

m = menubar.addMenu("&Utilities")
m.addCommand("Send 2 Qmaster", "send2Qmaster.send2Qmaster()", "", icon="")

in menu.py

in nuke it's ok but nothing is send to qmaster...

[lookfx]

Sorry...I should have clarified that I modified the script to utilize our Rush render farm hergo renaming send2qmaster to send2rush. Not too familiar with Qmaster so can't help you out. Because you did not add a system path to send2qmaster.py make sure the file resides in the same directory as the menu.py file.

[lookfx]

it can also go in your nuke/lib directory

[menthor]

yes it is.
but when i click on ok when i have set options. nothing append

[marcm]

I'm looking all over to try to find send2Qmaster.py any one as leads. I did managed to get the renders going on Qmaster with proper command lines. Now Im looking for a way to submit to Qmaster vias Nuke in a way that it takes into account the start en end frame of the shot itself.

-Thanks

You welcome man!

Ygor could have simplified things a bit by publishing that on the nuke scripts forum or even fxshare.com :P

[ygorcwb]

I coudnt!

When I have decided to release it to the public I didnt found the upload button on that site, and was expecting to have some free time to wrote down instructions for it.

It will happen, someday...

cheers!

Have some problems with send2qmaster.
I got my nuke script into Qmaster with send2Qmaster, altho it is only standing still there, what might the problem be?
The time elapsed keeps ticking but it's still on 0% done after 10 minutes.

Here's my log if it helps.

Hey timer,

You probably need to set your services to be "managed" inside system preferences or set the cluster controller to be able to handle "unmanaged services". The easyest way to try and troubleshoot is to try usign your machine as a quickcluster, do that and try to use it locally. Give it a try and tell me what is going on.

The basic instructions are almost done, it includes a quick walk though into Qmaster as well.

Cheers,

Timer can you explain on how you did send the script to Qmaster I've tried with not luck so far ...
