3rd Party » RenderMan 23.2 + H18.0416

Were you able to run it in build 416? The docs list 18.0.391 as the last supported. I get a warning dialog at startup saying renderman could not be loaded probably because it is for the wrong version of renderman.

I would pick it up if it were on gumroad as well. Houdini is great but for some things there is way too much mouse travel.

The 3 engine licenses come with licenses for Mantra (not Houdini gui) to run on the 3 clients. My Indie lapsed 6 months ago but I had it all running then. Hqueue is not indie friendly. It is built for studios, and the documentation mostly assumes full version. If you google a lot of results have outdated information as the licensing has changed over the years. You need to sort out your networking configuration, then get your licensing installed correctly, then figure out the gotchas, such as Houdini by default set to create IFD files to render, but Indie not being able to do so.
I did it on linux, but there is a windows guide here, can't speak for its accuracy:

I just resubscribed to Indie, so when I have some free time I will have to remember what I did to get it working again.
I don't know what the deal is with Karma, although my account seems to show 4 karma licenses or entitlements.

If you are rendering with mantra indie includes up to 3 engine/mantra render only licenses so you can set up a tiny hqueue farm.

Yes, it is possible.It is confusing that with default settings Houdini will attempt to write ifds, which are not supported in Indie. You will have to disable the ifd writing checkbox in /out/mantra ->Driver
You will also need a Houdini Engine Indie as well as a Renderer (Indie/Apprentice) license on the render nodes.
You could also use other third party render management software, or copy files manually and render from the command line.

Well colour me embarassed, I was trying to install into the houdini software directory in /opt instead of /home/<username>/houdini17.0 since that was the only place I could find with a preexisting python2.7libs directory.
Working now and I am loving it so far. I think it will be a real speed booster.

That looks fantastic, but I installed in H17 and get:

Any suggestions?

You should provide your operating system details and system hardware (cpu + gpu) information to help people help you.
Version 17 requires a CPU with minimum SSE 4.2 instruction set and will not run without it. Many AMD cpus before Zen will not work, as well as some older intel cpus.

Rendering should work on your second machine. One thing to check: the mantra license is separate from the houdini license, you need to have both installed to render.
If you log in to your sidefx website account you can see a list of your available and installed licenses. If you see an available Renderer (Indie/Apprentice) license key, install it from the license manager application on your laptop. If you do not see the additional licenses there then you should email sidefx support directly.

OTOYs workaround is to maintain their own customized Blender build which provides a network socket connection to link to the OctaneServer software which runs on the same machine. OctaneBlender passes the scene data to OctaneServer over this socket and the rendered image returns to blender the same way. The Octane Blender build is GPL, the Octane server where all the rendering code lives is not. You cannot use octane with vanilla blender.
I don't imagine SideFX really wants to maintain a customized version of a another 3d application.
