Hi All,
I don’t get the plugin launching for me, I’ve got a fresh repo and a fresh Centos 7 install with fresh Katana 4.0v4 install.
I’ve tried running the installer which doesn’t seem to do anything, I’ve also run through the manual suggestion
https://docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/products/deadline/10.1/1_User%20Manual/manual/app-katana.html#app-katana-integrated-submission-script-label
It only includes manual instructions for Windows, I’m on linux, presuming it’s the same?
I’ve created a folder /opt/KATANA_RESOURCES/ and added a ‘Tabs’ folder with the DeadlineKatanaClient.py file, I’ve also tried ‘tabs’ and putting the file in the root of the folder but nothing shows in Katana
I’m not sure whether I’m missing something or whether it’s the recurring py3 issue with Deadline’s submitters? The splash screen shows py2
EDIT: The installer must be adding to the .bash_profile / .bashrc
export KATANA_RESOURCES="/opt/KATANA_RESOURCES:/home/user/Thinkbox/Deadline10/submitters/KatanaSubmitter"
EDIT2: I added renderman and now it works, not sure what / why it wasn’t picking up
https://docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/products/deadline/10.1/1_User%20Manual/manual/app-katana.html
I’ve realised that 4 isn’t officially on the list but does include this line in the docs
FAQ
What versions of Katana are supported?
Deadline supports version 2 and upwards.
I’ll update the easy bits (param file etc) and see if that work, any word on an official update?
Also is it possible to get an option to use an interactive license instead or a render license like there is with nuke?
Can confirm adding and option for Katana.options /.param file seems to work
