Houdini Deadline ROP SanityCheck/Settings

Hello,
I’m having some trouble figuring out how to set defaults for pool, limits, etc on the Deadline ROP. I was previously able to use the CustomSanityChecks.py for the RenderMenu submission, but I can’t figure out how to push values to the actual ROP submission.
Any help would be great appreciated.
Thanks,
-Jake

Hey Jake,

You can actually set defaults for any node in Houdini (not just Deadline) without needing to script at all! Here’s how to do it:

  • Have Houdini open with a Deadline ROP node created
  • Set all the values you want as default (pools, groups, and limits are in the ‘Job Options’ tab of the Deadline ROP node)
  • Click the gear beside the Deadline ROP Name and select:
    [list]
    [*] ‘Save Preset…’ if you want the choice between different default values
  • ‘Save as Permanent Defaults’ if you want every created Deadline ROP node to have these defaults
    [/*:m][/list:u]

Let me know if this helps!

Cheers

Hi Morgan,
Thanks! Great Suggestion, that worked.
