Maya: Rendering multilayer EXR images always resulting into names with "_beauty" suffix

[LiborBatek]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues.

Please describe the feature you have in mind and explain what the current shortcomings are?

When rendering from maya host in Deadline and having set merge AOVs option leading to single image file containing all AOVs results into rendered image with <filename>_beauty.exr even tho there is no reason to append the _beauty suffix as it contains all RGBA data not just beauty component.

Currently there is now way to produce renders without _beauty suffix for multilayer EXR.

Here are staged files when rendering (all seems normal):

And when rendered and published (containing the "_beauty" suffix which cant be turned off)

How would you imagine the implementation of the feature?

When rendering into multilayer EXR containing all AOVs (merged) there should not be appended _beauty suffix at all. But only when multiple files being produced and such file might contain just the beauty component.

There should be Template naming used for such a task as now it is not ...being somewhat hardcoded as seen here

Are there any labels you wish to add?

• I have added the relevant labels to the enhancement request.

Maybe solved by this PR #447

@LiborBatek is this still present for Maya? If so, should this move to the ayon-maya repo?

[LiborBatek]

@BigRoy it should be already resolved by using Publish Templates (there was some refactoring) if needed <AOV> token ...can be closed IMHO

Thanks. Feel free to re-open on ayon-maya if you find new issues.

resolved by using Publish Templates
