Warning: //RFServer/hq/projects/Test/Renders\box_test_tile03_1.jpg does not have a data or cropwindow
Hi Alex,
Sorry for joining late in this thread but were you able to solve this tile stitching warning?
According to the job output and diagnostics file it's as though the Mantra ROP is missing in the .hip file.
Can you confirm that there's a /out/mantra2node in Positive_stadium.hip?
If not, then you might just need to update the Output Driver parameter in the HQueue Render ROP.
Also, out of curiosity, have you tried running your job with Houdini 16.5? Note that you would only need to install Houdini 16.5. You wouldn't have to upgrade your HQueue server nor clients to 16.5.
That is related to file paths. Make sure everything in your scene navigates through $JOB.
So make sure your pc, and the network render pc navigates through $JOB to the file path, be it your saved scene file, or texture path, anything.
So take this scenario, you have a file server called “fileserver” you have “fileserver”'s network drive mounted on YOUR pc as Z: you have the same network drive mounted on your render pc as Y:
So lets say you saved your scene file on Zprojects/myscene/scene.hip , obviously when your hqueue pc opens the job, it fails fast because it does not see “Z”
So the best way to do it is to use network names instead. So instead of using “Zprojects/myscene/scene.hip”, use $JOB/projects/myscene/scene.hip
where $JOB is “\\fileserver”, which is your network pc's location
in houdini, click on the top tab “edit” then “aliases and variables”, click on the “variables” tab, click on “JOB” and insert your file path there. mine looks like this:
now that you have your LOCAL pc set up with this $JOB variable pointing to your file server, you have to do the same at HQUEU.
Go to your HQUEU node and add this variable there as well.
please note, i used 3 backslashes, middle mouse click on the text “variable value” and see what the code evaluates as, houdini has a small bug where the first slash goes away and you end up with 2 which is correct. (two “\\” means network path or domain name path)
now go middle mouse on one of your $JOB paths and see it evaluate correctly like this:
please inbox me if you need some more details or help over skype or something
Cool!
THAAAANK YOUUU!!
you saved me
and guys, go to Services then hqueueclient..properties..Log on… then set the user name and pass of the client(Same Pc username)
this was the last peice of the puzzle for me. of course setting everything to $JOB is very crucial.
projects/myscene/scene.hip , obviously when your hqueue pc opens the job, it fails fast because it does not see “Z
