    You will need to have installed the Maya jobtype on each Worker that will run a Maya job. The Maya jobtype requires Perl (see Perl Installation). If you can't or don't want to install Perl, you can still submit Maya jobs, but the instructions will be different, and you can skip this step. See <this page> for details.

    Installation:
    If you are not familiar with the installation process please refer to the Quickstart section on installing workers, or to Installing Jobtypes.     Start up the installer, and click through to the Component Selection screen (shown here). If you are only installing the Maya Jobtype, then choose "Custom" and click on Maya Jobtype as shown.

    If you want the submission menu inside of Maya (recommended) then install the InApp plugins via the Qube! WranglerView.

    File > Install App UI > Install Maya App UI

    You will need to do this on every workstation that you intend to submit Maya jobs from.

    This will present a pre-filled submission UI like the one shown here. Ensure sections marked in red have the correct details.

    Tip
    titleOptional Useful Settings

    While not strictly required, the following settings are useful for getting a better result. You will need to turn on "Expert Mode" (check box at the bottom of the submission UI) in order to get access to them.

    • Optimize the use of cores. Set the "Slots = Threads" checkbox and then set the "Specific Thread Count" to a value like 8 (assuming you have 8 cores). (If you have Designer licenses, only set the thread count. Do not check "Slots = Threads")
    • By default, Qube! will not retry failed frames. So set the "Retry frame/instance" value to 3 or 5, to get 3 or 5 retries before it gives up. Related to that, the default wait between retries is zero seconds, which is typically not useful. Set the "Retry Work Delay" to a value like 5 or 10 to allow machines time to recover from temporary problems such as network errors.
