Houdini deadline submitter ROP Houdini 18

SolidAlphaVFX · January 30, 2020, 2:10am

Hi there.

I am trying to get the deadline submitter rop to show up in my Houdini 18.0.287
I have it working just fine in Houdini 17.5.

I have been following this procedure:

https://docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/products/deadline/10.0/1_User%20Manual/manual/app-houdini.html#app-houdini-integrated-submission-script-label

Can anyone shed some light?

Cheers

That should work just like in the instructions.

Also have you noticed this? Houdini 18 support

Thanks for the reply Panze.
I guess I will have to investigate further since it looks like the error is on my end.

Thanks

FINALLY sorted it out. Just a brain fart from my side. Overwriting my HOUDINI_PATH variable at the end of my env script rather than adding to it.

That’s a pretty easy mistake to make. I know I’ve managed to make it in the past

That new “packages” style of adding add-ons is kinda neat.

deadline.json package would look something like this

{
	"env": [
		{
			"DEADLINE": "//PATH_TO_YOUR_SUBMITTER_FOLDER/DeadlineSubmitter"
		},
        {
            "HOUDINI_PATH": "$DEADLINE;"
        },
        {
            "HOUDINI_MENU_PATH": "$DEADLINE;"
        },
        {
            "HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH": "$DEADLINE/otls;"
        },
	],
	"path": "$DEADLINE"
	
}
