# maya-render-farm (Pipeline stage)

Render farm submission. Layered on top of `maya-render` (which handles

*local* render globals): this skill validates the scene for farm

readiness, writes a JSON job spec, and optionally submits to Deadline

through its Python API.

## Scripts

- `validate_scene_for_farm` — Check scene for missing files, unresolved references, render settings

- `write_render_job` — Write a JSON render job spec for a render farm dispatcher

- `submit_to_deadline` — Submit the current scene to Thinkbox Deadline via the Deadline Python API

- `get_render_job_status` — Query the status of a submitted Deadline job by job ID
