Settings Job Environment Variables

this is what I’ve been looking at recently and have been using a modified version of the GitHub script

Custom Environment Copy from Thinkbox GitHub issues

ok, so the modification made is here on line 52 Change the line if string.upper(key) not in unwantedkeys: to if string.upper(key) in unwantedkeys: Then in the event options you can enter the env vars that you want to be copied over. This works great for Houdini running different versions of render engines and OCIO etc. Now I need to find a way to pick and select the version of Houdini that it’s using and render using that instead of the version it hits first in t…

This grabs the env vars in use and sends them with the job which works great for maya / houdini with different versions of centrally installed plugins.

Seems to fail on C4D jobs though where the local user env vars get sent anyway and it trys to write temp stuff to the submission users folder which isn’t on the nodes.
