Submit whole render queue at once

[farrahandpearce]

Describe the problem

When you want to submit multiple scenes this is fundimental to how Keyshot performs. It's inpractical to have to sumit for every viewpoint / material option / lighting set up.

Proposed Solution

Be able to fill up a render queue with a variety of jobs, then submit the whole thing as a combined job.

@farrahandpearce Thank you for opening this issue!

I've added this feature request to our backlog.

A few questions about your use case:

1. Do you usually use KeyShot's functionality to "Group into a single render job" when adding different viewpoints / materials / lighting options or do you uncheck that option?

2. Do you typically have KeyShot jobs from multiple projects in your render queue when you want to submit it to Deadline Cloud?

3. When you say "combined job" is your goal to have a single workflow/script which submits everything in the render queue? Or are you specifically looking to submit the entire render queue as a single Deadline Cloud job (with multiple steps, one for each KeyShot job in the render queue)?

   • We might have some technical constraints around a single job vs multiple jobs, but if given the option, do you have a preference?
   • For more info about the differences between Deadline Cloud jobs and steps, see these docs
