    This is the documentation for for an older version of Qube.

    Documentation for the latest release is available here.

    In-app Installation

    Qube can make some of its submission dialog available inside your rendering applications like Autodesk Maya or Adobe AfterEffects. Doing so will allow artists to submit to Qube without ever leaving their primary application.

    In-app installation is done through scripts built-in to ArtistView.  In-app installation scripts are available to users/admins so that they can be modified and/or distributed to every artist machine in your facility.

    To perform in-app installation

    Simply go to File > Install In-App Submission UI..., then choose the application for which you would like Qube submission menus installed.

    Some in-app installation happens without any user interaction while others require you to select specific directories for the requested application. Follow on-screen instructions to perform the install.

    File System Permissions

    Icon
    Some applications may require permissions changes to certain directories on the local machine.  This may require local admin permissions.

    Confirmation of install

    When installation has completed, a dialog will be displayed showing results of the install process.

    Clicking the "Show Details" button will display all the actions performed during the install.  

    Verifying in-app install

    The location of in-app menus depends on each application.  

    Autodesk Maya

    In Maya, we will see a "Qube!" pulldown menu:

     

    Maxon Cinema 4D

    In C4D, the Qube menus will appear under "User Scripts":

     

    Adobe After Effects

    In AfterEffects, there are two ways to submit jobs to Qube, either through the "Qube.jsx" Window (which is available under "Window" pulldown menu, therefore you can then dock the window anywhere in the interface as shown below):

    or through the File > Scripts menu:

    Icon
    AfterEffects rendering through Qube is done by use of AE's "RenderQueue".  While Qube won't use AE's "Watch Folders" feature to do any rendering, Qube will find rendering settings in active render queue items.  This means you must setup a render queue in AE, and then save the file prior to submission
