no files writen during render [SOLVED]

[Wenneker]

If the filename contains a period and <scene> is used in the naming field no files are written. The renderer points to a non-existing path.
if the filename is Balloon_Cached.001.mb the resulting render points to either a folder with the name of the temporary mb file or a non-existent path like "Balloon_Cached_All.001/Balloon_Cached.exr"
Also the file numbering no longer works in these cases.

Right, same issue here with 2.24.2 - 7.24 plugin, using a period ( . ) in the filename .
Works fine if an underscore ( _ ) is used instead.

The filenaming uses periods for splitting the string the plugin gets from maya.

I have to see how I can change that, if you guys need to have periods in your filenames.

Best,

It's not absolutely necessary for me but I would be handy as it's the default way maya versions your files.
CTRL + ALT + s (increment and save) results in yourFileName.001.mb

Ah, thanks for the info.

Then I will add redoing the filenaming to my tasks, but it could take a bit.

it's not mission critical so that's ok.

I haven't tested it recently, but last time I checked you couldn't render a sequence with directory names "ie: directory/directory/filename.exr" unless the directories were already created. Other render engines will just create the directory if needed, but Octane just chugs along through the render without saving the files.

Indeed multilevel sub-directory fails in 7.24.
Both bugs are regressions (they were not in 7.6).

Both bugs are still in OctaneRender for Maya 3.05.1 - 9.16


Bug1: BatchRender doesn't work when there is a dot is the scene name.
