Houdini + Vray no GPU submission

Deadline
1

Hi there,

I noticed an issue with submitting Houdini Vray GPU render jobs. Every time I’m submitting a GPU job to deadline Vray standalone starts in CPU mode. The next thing I tried was submitting a Command-line Arg via the Vray deadline submitter, but this also doesn’t work. (-rtEngine=5) The only way was submitting a suspended job and modifying the Additional Arguments with (-rtEngine=5) and then start the job.
Would be nice to have that problem fixed in the future.

I think I saw an updated Houdini V-Ray submission in the previous version of 10.1.14.x that got pulled, just checked and it’s back up again as 10.1.14.4, maybe someone from Thinkbox could clarify whether there was an issue with this.

Or whether I’m imaging it and there wasn’t an updated Houdini V-Ray option?

by the way, submit as a suspended job also doesn’t work with the vray submitter. I have to suspend the job manually and then reactivate it after modifying it.
