I have Deadline working great with Houdini 18 and Redshift but when I bring HDR Light Studio into the fold it stops working. Do I need to have Porta Link service installed for this to work? I’m not running on a server just a local connection. Running Deadline 10.1.8.5. Here’s the error which appears to be a problem with the python module for the HDRStudio controller HDA for Houdini…
