I have found a bug in vray and houdini, in all versions of houdini that I have installed, when we send a task we need to distribute the tasks frame by frame, but with vray we put frame sper task = 1
If we try with mantra,arnold,redshift it works fine or other 3D software…
I’ve tested this with Houdini 19.0.589 and Deadline 10.2.0.9 and I’m not encountering the same behaviour.
With these settings:
I get a job with 240 single frame tasks. If you’re running the same version of Deadline I am, I’d like to see what’s in the ‘Houdini Console’ window after your submission. I wonder if there might be a warning there to point out what’s wrong.
Thanks!
I’m running into the same issue with the latest deadline with Houdini and Vray.
The deadline rop seems to be setting the frame chunk size to 10000 on submission no matter what it’s set to in the ROP. This can be seen in the job properties.
This only happens with VRay. Redhift and Mantra are fine.
Workaround is to resubmit the job from the Deadline monitor and set the right chunk size.
