I'm about to start working with Vray for Houdini, and from what I know now it doesn't work directly with HQueue based on how it's installed & licensed. I know it can work with Vray DR (which is probably how I'll use it for now), but it's not ideal for rendering animation sequences, as the procesing/exporting of the scene file on a per-frame basis can take a bit of time.

I'm wondering if there's a general workflow already in place for using HQueue with other 3rd party render engines like Arnold, Octane, and Redshift.


Thanks,
Luke

I have HQueue working. I have redshift licensed on the client machine. I can render the project. I add an HQueue Render node and connect the output of the Redshift_ROP to the input of the hq_render node. I submit the job, which starts to run, but gives me errors, that the redshift nodes are not valid or not recognized.

Any suggestions?
