Houdini PDG, passing env vars to tasks on Farm

Custom environment copy

Custom Environment Copy from Thinkbox GitHub issues

Hi All, Is anyone using the CustomEnvironmentCopy from the github repo? It’s been a while since it’s been updated but assume it should be working ok? Works great for Maya & Houdini but C4D seems to pull all the local user env vars, so always looks for the local tmp folders of the user who submitted the job (which obviously don’t exist on the farm) I’ve added all the unwated env vars used on the local machine to the block list but not sure if C4D is overriding these somehow?

I think the links to the github in that thread work, and I also think I saw these scripts being updated to work with latest py3 too.

I don’t think this works with path translation though, but a bit of work on the scripts and I’m sure it could be possible.
