Hello guys I have a problem. I can not make renderman and redshift work at the same time.
When I edit the env file. If I put both codes at once only the last one works for example.


HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2
HOUDINI_PATH = “C:/ProgramData/Redshift/Plugins/Houdini/${HOUDINI_VERSION};&”
PATH = “C:\ProgramData\Redshift\bin;$PATH”


RMANTREE=C:\Program Files\Pixar\RenderManProServer-23.3
RFHTREE=C:\Program Files\Pixar\RenderManForHoudini-23.3
RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH=$RFHTREE\18.0\openvdb;&
HOUDINI_PATH=$RFHTREE\18.0;&
PATH=$RMANTREE\bin;&

If I use just one of then it works but both it does not. Can someone help me out??

I'm not sure if they're fully compatible with eachother. However the houdini.env you posted doesn't include redshift, since the lines for prman overwrite the values. The path locations need to be appended.

e.g.
PATH=“redshift/bin;renderman/bin;mycooltools/bin;$PATH”
HOUDINI_PATH=“redshift/hou;rfhtree/hou;otherhfs;&”

They work together without any issue. Use Houdini packages instead of Houdini.env which is difficult to maintanin when you use two or more plugins.

Create a folder called “packages” inside C:\Users\USER\Documents\houdini x.0 and then create two text files with json extension (something like redshift.json and rman.json).

RedShift file content:

{
“env” : [
{“HOUDINI_PATH” : “C:/ProgramData/Redshift/Plugins/Houdini/18.0.460”},
{“PATH” : “C:/ProgramData/Redshift/bin”}
]
}


Rman file content:

{
“env” : [
{“RMANTREE” : “C:/Program Files/Pixar/RenderManProServer-23.3”},
{“RFHTREE” : “C:/Program Files/Pixar/RenderManForHoudini-23.3”},
{“RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH” : “C:/Program Files/Pixar/RenderManForHoudini-23.3/18.0/openvdb”},
{“HOUDINI_PATH” : “C:/Program Files/Pixar/RenderManForHoudini-23.3/18.0”},
{“PATH” : “C:/Program Files/Pixar/RenderManProServer-23.3/bin”}
]
}

Did you check the paths are correct ? Houdini and Rman version number in the json files

Fix the syntax error? If you copied the text from the forum, then it probably has the wrong kind of quote character. replace them with

Create a folder called “packages” inside C:\Users\USER\Documents\houdini x.0 and then create two text files with json extension (something like redshift.json and rman.json).

RedShift file content:
{
	"env" : [
		{"HOUDINI_PATH" : "C:/ProgramData/Redshift/Plugins/Houdini/18.0.460"},
		{"PATH" : "C:/ProgramData/Redshift/bin"}
	]
}

Rman file content:

{
	"env" : [
		{"RMANTREE" : "C:/Program Files/Pixar/RenderManProServer-23.3"},
		{"RFHTREE" : "C:/Program Files/Pixar/RenderManForHoudini-23.3"},
		{"RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH" : "C:/Program Files/Pixar/RenderManForHoudini-23.3/18.0/openvdb"},
		{"HOUDINI_PATH" : "C:/Program Files/Pixar/RenderManForHoudini-23.3/18.0"},
		{"PATH" : "C:/Program Files/Pixar/RenderManProServer-23.3/bin"}
	]
}

I don't use redshift, but my renderman packages look like this:

prman-23.0.json
{
    "enable": true,
    "env" :
    [
        {
            "var": "RMANTREE",
            "value": "C:/PROGRA~1/Pixar/RenderManProServer-23.0"
        },
        {
            "var": "PATH",
            "value": "C:/PROGRA~1/Pixar/RenderManProServer-23.0/bin",
            "method": "append"
        },
        {
            "var": "HOUDINI_DEFAULT_RIB_RENDERER",
            "value": "prman23.0"
        }
    ]
}

prmanstudio-23.0.json
{
    "enable": true,
    "requires": "prman-23.0",
    "env" :
    [
        {
            "RFHTREE": "C:/PROGRA~1/Pixar/RenderManForHoudini-23.0"
        },
        {
            "HOUDINI_PATH": "C:/PROGRA~1/Pixar/RenderManForHoudini-23.0/18.0"
        }
    ]
}
