Render elements gets saved in subfolders?

[Monkeybrother]

Hi. When auto saving a render with render elements, all elements get saved in subfolders named after the element. For example "CESSENTIAL_Indirect_CESSENTIAL_Indirect", "CESSENTIAL_Refract_CESSENTIAL_Refract" etc. This was never the case with V-Ray. IS this a Corona thing or a 3ds max thing? Can I disable it somehow so that all saed elements end up in the same folder?

Are you rendering on a farm using Deadline maybe? Because otherwise it should be fine, but with Deadline that is the default. Our solution was to write a faster and more simple submitter script which manually overwrites also all the renderoutput paths to match the one that the Beauty has. Maybe there is also a setting in Deadline, but I can't really advise you on that.

Ah, I was indeed using Deadline. Thanks.

bringing this up again in case anyone can help.

We like that deadline collates all render elements but don't want them in folders.

any deadline people got any ideas?
