Submitting Corona jobs to the network through Deadline (pre 1.0 daily build) currently does not work if you add render elements (specially the essential elements)
We asked the guys at Deadline and they gave us this back.
A section of the question from us to Deadline:
"Re: corona Render channels fails on SMTD script

please add more corona support as a renderer
oh, and this worked on last stable release. so pre release daily build has sent things off track"
From Deadline:
"That's not good. Every render element in 3ds Max (except for the "Missing Render Element" class) should expose an .elementName property.
We do check explicitly for the Missing_Render_Element_Plug_in class, but if Corona insists on implementing Render Elements without the .elementName property, we might have to add a more general test for the existence of the property. Unfortunately, a lot of things in SMTD depend on that property being accessible. If the element name is accessed in a non-standard way in Corona, that would be inconsistent with every other Render Element in Max.
Can you ask Ondra why these render elements do not expose the .elementName property that every other render element provides? Could this be an actual bug in Corona?"
@Keymaster ? :-)
