Passing arguments to eco on windows

Deadline
1

Hey,

I need to add some arguments to hython for rendering via Deadline, for example:

eco -t houdini16.5.323 -r ‘hython “D:\plugins\hrender_dl.py” -f 1 1 1 -g -d /out/arnold1 “D:/Documents/houdiniNoodle/test.hip”’

Which fails. Is there a syntax for this?

Ta,

Nick

If you’re comfortable with Python, the magic for this happens in “RenderArgument()” function in “[repo]/plugins/Houdini/Houdini.py”. That’s where you’d need play with (if you’re not already).

How are things failing?

From a maintenance point of view, I’d put your eco wrap in a Windows batch file and use that in place of hython in the plugin config.

REM Run eco with needed flags

eco -t houdini16.5.323 -r 'hython %*'
