Access RPManager parameters with Maxscript/Python.

[Nazar]

Hi,
We have been using RP Manager for some automation task – we render out 3d template object with multiple materials on it. Everything works fine on manual mode. And we would like to adjust the Common Params of the RPManager with a script. We didn't find this info on different tutorials or help documents.
I would be very grateful if you could advise us on how to have access to the RPManager parameters/window from Python or Maxscript.
We need to adjust: Parrent Directory and filename, Frames list. And then Net Submit checked passes. In addition to that, we would need to get a name of the active pass and switch active pass as well.
We use 3dsmax Python for scripting. Could you instruct how to change or request RPManager parameters, please?
Thank you in advance.
With optimism,
Nazar

Hi

I don't have any python scripting documentation, but there is some maxscript documentation here:

See if that gets you further along - let me know how you go.

cheers,

Hi Grant,

Thank you a lot for this link. I have found almost everything there.
The only one command I didn't see – how I can run Net Submission from a script? Could you advise which command can send all checked passes to the Deadline in our case?
Is there a way not to show Alerts window during the net submission. In manual mode, it always appears.

Thank you!

Hi Grant,

Thank you, these two commands work perfectly!

I would be wondered if you could give advice with deadline submission. On the current moment when multiple passes are submitted, they are shown in the queue as a separate jobs. To group them into one Deadline has Batch Name parameter, which is not visible/available from standard 3dsmax Submitter interface. So jobs properties needs to be manually adjusted in Deadline Monitor to group passes into one group.
I understand that my question is not directly connected with your product, but maybe you faced with similar task in the past.

I would be grateful for any ideas. Thank you!

P.S. Here I found the description from the Thinkbox member:

but still how to use this command with RPManager

Dear Grant,

Could you advice, please, which command can check/uncheck passes? I have found RPMdata.GetPassChecked() to receive checked passes.But I can't find any way how to Set pass checking mark.

Thank you in advance.
