Description

Current Behavior

CollectRenderFiles expects a specific root renders

ayon-unreal/client/ayon_unreal/plugins/publish/collect_render_files.py

Line 90 in a6c6dd4

root = anatomy.roots['renders']

Expected Behavior

I expected either one of two things:

1. to use a default root work that we are almost sure it exists.
2. OR exposing the used root in addon settings to inform admins about this requirment.
3. Support staging directories with a fallback in complaince to 130 ay 6965 default output paths and support custom staging directories. ayon-houdini#200

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Use default anaotmy preset with work
2. setup unreal to work with AYON
3. Try to publish a render

Have you tried to set up the renders root accordingly to this?

I know that the rendering workflow would be changing afterwards but does it also affect how the local rendering works, @antirotor?

I only tried local render. which is more of Use existing frames (local)

That should work. However, this issue is more about providing a way to tell admins about the need for renders root.
If the render workflow is going to be refactored, I think exposing this setting as a short term solution would be good.

Anyways, we can also skip this issue and mentions the proper information in the docs.
