Using Deadline to export Houdini file caches (vdb export). Is this possible?

[Donat_Van_Bellinghen]

Hi,

Is it possible to use Deadline to submit a VDB export from Houdini ?

In Houdini 17.5, I use a filecache node to export to disk a series of .bgeo.sc files.

I launch the houdini submitter from the monitor, and in the ‘render node’ I put :

obj/mynodes…/filecache1

I get this error in the task report:

“AttributeError: ‘SopNode’ object has no attribute ‘render’\n”]

(Using Houdini 17.5.173 and Deadline 10.0.16.6 on Windows10)

Okay, it is possible, sorry for the silly question

What did you change to get file caches working through Deadline?

Cheers
