Got a different error message.
The “error” in the beginning is from my pipeline scripts, but I already tested with default user preferences and got the same errors.

Hi Chris,

It works in the Houdini´s python shell. It works on hython too (with the command line tools).
I think it´s something in the pre-cook pass.

Are there any log files in the temp folders? They may contain error messages.
Otherwise, could you please attach a hip file here or to a support bug for us to try to reproduce.

Hi Chris,

There is no file in the temp folder (although it creates the folder, but not the files).
I just used a simples file with a TOPnet with a Shotgun Session inside, nothing fancy.

The strange thing is: the example file in the docs worked at some point last week, but not anymore. And both computers had a Windows update going on after that, so I´m assuming is something related to that, could it be?

Are there some tests I could perform to try to narrow down the problem?

It times out if the shotgun ‘server’ doesn't write to a specific temp file after a few seconds. The server is just a hython process. Could it be failing to write to your temp directory? You could take a look in the pdgtemp/log folder in houdini_temp or working directory to see if anything is written there.

Hi Chris, thanks for the reply.
No, Hython doesn´t save the file in the temp folder. I used a custom folder and the default folder. None of them worked.

The first of several to come. Next planned ones are:

Schedulers:

A) How to deploy with Tractor
B) How to deploy with Deadline
C) How to deploy with HQueue
D) How to write your own binding

API

- A deep dive on the PDG API.

Please let us what further questions / topics we could address beyond those above.

Ken, I watched your masterclass (thanks, BTW), but I think there still room to talk more about mappers and where to use them. I still don´t understand why the attributes are lost when there is a mapper in the middle…

Yeahh, will be nice to know more about the API and why there are some differences from hou, like, why something like self.evalParm must be different in PDG.

Hi,

I keep getting this error when I try to connect to my shotgun site using the PDG Shotgun Session node.
The strange thing is that I did connect a few days ago, but now I can´t. Same problem on both machines, build 293, but same thing with 321. Perhaps is a windows update problem?
I can import the SG api in the command line tools with hython and in the python shell inside houdini, and connect to my shotgun site. Only with PDG I can´t.

Yes, inside houdini´s python shell I can. I´ve shotgun running and SG python tab open inside houdini. But I still get error´s saying that Houdini can´t find SG API. As I posted, I pointed out the “PYTHONPATH” environment to the “shotgun_api3” folder. Is that correct? Do I need to add extra folders to the environment?

Got it. Was a problem with the pythonpath. Thanks for the help, and I hope someone can help you too!

Yeah, I´ve added them, but I´m still getting errors (houdini doesn´t find the path to the API). In my “PYTHONPATH” variable (on the system), I added the path to “\\python-api\\shotgun_api3”. Is that correct?

Hi Clément, how did you setup SG to work with TOPs? I can´t find a way to make it work. Thanks and sorry to use your post to ask a different question.

Hi,

Any luck importing hou without dll errors?

I could do it in some machines, but in my brand new Dell AIO I can´t find a way getting python to import hou without errors.

/python2.7libs was added to pythonpath var.

/bin was added to the path var.

That´s a good question. I´m trying to do something similar.
In the “Position” data, there is an orient attribute. It´s a 4vector, the first 3 are direction, and the forth I think it´s the cosine of the rotation, so, you can build you own orient attribute.
The problem is that I don´t think it´s that attribute that rotates the geo. I did some tests and it has a xform matrix in the same data, and I think it generates that from the orient attribute, so, using a script solver to change the orient attribute doesn´t change the matrix, and nothing happens.
The only solution I found is to use the position nodes… give them a shot!

The other option would be using sop solver, but since it changes the geometry, the object needs to recalculate the colision geometry too…
