But as this post is about a different issue, I thought it'd be best to keep them apart.
I think I've found a thread asking about the same or a similar issue, but unfortunately nobody answered to it.
This is the tread. [www.sidefx.com]
I'm trying to send a Null ROP with other ROPs connected to it to Deadline.
When I click ‘Submit’ it fails and shows in the console the message “Output path for ROP is not specified”.
Then I tried with a Geometry ROP and it worked fine.
Then with an OpenGL ROP and again I get that error, even though its output is set to an accessible folder.
The eventual network I want to be able to send to Deadline is the following:
A Geometry ROP caching out the sim,
connected to an OpenGL or Mantra/Arnold ROP flipbooking or rendering the scene,
connected to a Shell ROP in which I run a pre-render script converting the generated image sequence to a video.
Locally it's not a problem. Only when I try to submit it with the Deadline submission tool, it gives me the error.
My understanding is that when submitting a .hip to a renderfarm, it just copies your scene to the farm and executes it there.
So I'm not sure why it cares so much whether or not it finds an output on the submitted ROP at the time of submitting.
