Hi Guys;

I tried to use Thinkbox Deadline v8.0 , to render a scene.
I have a Alembic mesh in my scene. Houdini loads the mesh perfectly but when I submit the scene , I got this error in Deadline-Monitoring panel:

Error: Caught exception: [' File “//st1/Houdini15/houdini/python2.7libs\\hou.py”, line 34365, in render\n return _hou.RopNode_render(*args, **kwargs)\n', 'OperationFailed: The attempted operation failed.\nError: Error saving geometry for: /obj/City1/alembic1\n']

at Deadline.Plugins.PluginWrapper.RenderTasks(String taskId, Int32 startFrame, Int32 endFrame, String& outMessage, AbortLevel& abortLevel)

When I replace that “Alembic mesh” with a houdini native meshes like Box or Sphere , every thing is ok, so it seems houdini can't load my Alembic mesh file under network rendering…!

When I set the “Missing File” option in alembic node, from “Report Error” to “No Geometry” , the scene renders perfectly , but without showing the mesh.

My project is in a full-access shared folder and I set the address of Alembic mesh file related to my HIP file.



Thanks for helping.
