I tried to find this answer on the forums but I could not so here it is.

What would be a proper way to set up a PDG rendering exrs where it can identify and skip existing frames?

I know that for caches PDF identifies automatically what is on disk but the same does not happen with images and I could not find anyway to do it.

Any tips?

I think I figure it out.

-Turn off "All Frames in one batch" - it seems this options ignore totally what is already written to the disk.
-If you want to render all in one batch and detect/ignore what is already on disk do it on the scheduler, on the job parms set it as "single".
-In the ROP Fetch output files tab use "custom path list" and add here the path where the files should be.

This seems to be working for me so far so far, if anyone have a better way let me know

Hello I am looking for a way to easaly skip existing frames in solaris and it is unclear to me how your setup whould work.

Do you mind sharing it ?

For rendered frames what I described on top worked for me, for geometries should be even easier.

Could it be that this is not working anymore?

I am wondering what type of rop your using in solaris. When I use a usd rop there it it always saves out a usd file when I fetch it in tops and dou as you described.

isnt that what the usd render file top is now for? but with that I cant seem to get it to work that images are detected on disk

This actually did the trick for me:


On the ROP fetch set
Output files - Output parm name: outputimage
