I've got a few characters I brought over from Max via alembic (File->Import->Alembic Scene)
Setup my RIS rop and shader network. Renders perfectly on my local machine.
However, when I submit to Hqueue (two other machines) they're not there! I have them placed over a simple box I made in Houdini and that renders fine across Hqueue- but that's it!
Any ideas as to why I can render perfectly fine locally but get HG Wells' results via Hqueue?
No errors or warning when looking at Hqueue. The frames just a post a very misleading “succeeded.” Other renderman tests I've done (without alembic) work great on my little render farm so I'm at a loss!
Tested with a simpler scene thinking it had something to do with either my shader/textures or the geometry itself. I made a sphere in max and applied a noise modifier to give it some animation and exported it to an alembic file. In Houdini locally it works great! I can see it but when I submit to Hqueue it goes blank!
Hqueue + Alembic + Renderman = Invisible?

Good idea! Currently all of my files live on my G drive on my render machines which is really just a mapped drive on my NAS.
I've had issues with Hqueue not wanting to write frames unless my $JOB value is UNC.
That would explain why the GridMarkets render worked.
I'll give it a shot! Thanks for the tip.
BTW what render engine were you using when you had similar issues?
