Solaris and Karma » render delegate selection in husk


tas3d: 120 posts; Offline

Jan. 16, 2023 17:43:43

I semi switched to packages, but somehow renders are still via houdini.env

I don't get those errors, but I am on pretty old version, so can't really compare.

glad it helped

I have this in my houdini.env

# htoa config start
PATH = $PATH;C:/Users/Tas/htoa/htoa-6.1.1.0_r8825678_houdini-19.0.589.py3/htoa-6.1.1.0_r8825678_houdini-19.0.589.py3/scripts/bin
HOUDINI_PATH = C:/Users/Tas/htoa/htoa-6.1.1.0_r8825678_houdini-19.0.589.py3/htoa-6.1.1.0_r8825678_houdini-19.0.589.py3;&
# htoa config end

be careful not to "mess" it up with other plugin paths that might come after/before loading Arnold. It was very finicky to setup. Especially when loading Redshift, Renderman and others all at the same time.

Solaris and Karma » USD and Husk with Deadline

Hi,

If anyone would like to cache or render USD via Husk on Deadline, I wrote a set of HDAs to facilitate such workflow.

Tools are available on GitHub.

Feedback and requests are welcome.

Technical Discussion » Multiple 456.py scripts


tas3d: 120 posts; Offline

June 3, 2022 14:20:51

Hi,

Renderman package has its own 456.py script, which is overriding mine's 456.py placed in $HFS folder. Resulting in not executing my script.

Is there any way to make them work together? Like execute both for instance?

Thanks

thanks for hints. Please take a look at my example file, rx ry rz are not consistent, plenty of flips.

Surely RBD sim looks good, but its hard to work with such data when doing post sim orient blending to another values. I believe if rotation data was consistent I wouldn't have any issues.

Still, Euler Filter should work...

Thanks

Hi,

RBD Bullet sim produced few pieces with what seems like Euler discontinuities.

I convert @orient to @rot and try to fix it in CHOPs with Euler Rotation Filer, but it has no effect.
What am I missing?

Thanks

Few days ago there was an interesting temp solution posted on Github, but not sure why author took it down. Perhaps he found a flaw?
https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/USD/issues/849 [github.com]

He suggested to force SMB Dialect (version) to 2.1 instead of 2.0.1 or 3.x.

You can check current SMB connections with this command: Get-SmbConnection

I dont have either network shares or NAS, so cannot test it. But following this issue closely, as I will transition to NAS storage sooner or later. Very concerning for Windows users.

Hi,

Im on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS, H19.0.531, AMD Ryzen 9 and Nvidia 2070 GPU.
Getting this crash on houdini startup

Houdini FX Version 19.0.531 [linux-x86_64-gcc9.3]
Uptime 1 seconds
Fri Mar  4 09:37:44 2022
Caught signal 11

I tried few suggested fixes mentioned above:
sudo apt install libopengl0 freeglut3 freeglut3-dev
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxcb-xinerama0

But still no love.

Running export LD_PRELOAD="/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc_malloc_debug.so.0 doesn't work, it seems like this file does not exist on my system. I have already libc6 installed, perhaps I need something else?

I contaced SESI support, but they have no solution. Any ideas?
Thanks!
