Hey all,

I've been pulling my hair out for a few days trying to set up Houdini on HQueue.
Never used Houdini, so this is all a bit of an interesting journey
I've set up render farms for Maya, 3ds Max and LightWave... so it's fairly similar, but I could do with some help with something.

I have Hqueue running, it sees our 12 render nodes. I have a service account, with admin rights, and access to our network shares. The account is logged into the services and also the batch files which trigger via Scheduled Tasks on each client.

I send a file to render from my Desktop Workstation, and it generates the USD files okay, but when it goes to render the scene, I get the following error:


If anyone can offer any help, I'd be eternally grateful! Thank you

I'm not sure if this helps or not, but there are some other errors in HQueue that may help. These appear before the lines of Python Code:

Warning: prepareUSDRender() got an unexpected parameter 'min_hosts_per_job'
Warning: prepareUSDRender() got an unexpected parameter 'max_hosts_per_job'
Warning: prepareUSDRender() got an unexpected parameter 'use_render_tracker'
Warning: prepareUSDRender() got an unexpected parameter 'enable_checkpoints'
Warning: prepareUSDRender() got an unexpected parameter 'resources'

It then goes on to PROGRESS: 0%
then 4%
and then I get a load of Traceback messages. But these don't appear to be errors, until the one I posted above!

Thanks again!
