Hello,

After trying to get Solaris to work on a pipeline where everything is Windows. I have stumbled upon some big issues regarding USD files getting locked on a network share when they are opened in a program. Then it's not possible to overwrite the file again before the software using the file are shutdown some of the time.

I have tried many different combination so far regarding a network shared folder and how they are set up. All had issues so far.

Both Houdini Solaris and the Maya usd-plugin have issues with not be able to overwrite the USD files on the network shared folder. Maya plugin Multiverse can overwrite the files tho.

Here is another forum post with more info regarding these issues https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/70960/ [www.sidefx.com]

So i wonder if someone else here have success with USD in a Windows pipeline?

We don't use Solaris at all.

Solaris is at least 2 years away to be "production" ready. its moving target. Solaris is too confusing compared with rest of houdini. USD itself is still evolving.
