I'm deploying maya8 on the render machines. Is there anything in
particular I need to change for our submit scprits?
Usually just the variable settings at the top of the script
below this header:
#########################################################
### MAYA SPECIFIC VARIABLES -- CUSTOMIZE AS NECESSARY ###
### See Maya docs for more info. ###
#########################################################
Depending on the platform(s) you're using, update the PATH
and MAYA_LOCATION.
If you're using mental ray standalone, you may need
to update those settings as well.
If you want to keep both versions of maya on the machines,
and be able to switch between them, then make separate copies
of the submit script; eg:
submit-maya7
submit-maya8
..and modify the submit-maya7 script to use only Maya7 paths,
and modify the submit-maya8 script to use only Maya8 paths.
Then users can render with either version of maya, depending
on the script they submit with.
eg. the submit-maya7 script might look like:
if ( $G::iswindows )
{
# WINDOWS
# Normally leave this commented out; Maya sets these by default.
# Restart the Rushd service if you recently installed Maya.
#
$ENV{MAYA_LOCATION} = "c:/Program Files/Alias/Maya7.0"; # MAYA7
$ENV{PATH} = "$ENV{MAYA_LOCATION}/bin;$ENV{PATH}";
[..]
..and the submit-maya8 script might look like:
if ( $G::iswindows )
{
# WINDOWS
# Normally leave this commented out; Maya sets these by default.
# Restart the Rushd service if you recently installed Maya.
#
$ENV{MAYA_LOCATION} = "c:/Program Files/Alias/Maya8.0"; # MAYA8
$ENV{PATH} = "$ENV{MAYA_LOCATION}/bin;$ENV{PATH}";
[..]
Note the comment character (#) has been removed from the beginning
of the MAYA_LOCATION and PATH lines.
