Nah, Deadline definitely has pitfalls for new users. Some off the top of my head:
- you need to know the basics of sharing folders over a network
- you need to know that during the installation you can skip security certificates if you want to, or alternatively know how to then authenticate using them
- you need to know how to connect to the repository (direct connection vs RCS, the latter requiring an extra install if i recall)
And that's just the start
- then you need to know how to install Houdini submitters from the repo
- how to manually add newer Houdini versions that aren't supported
- finally, bonus chaos points if you haven't ever actually used Deadline before and don't know how it's supposed to work
And then there's the whole topic of licenses when rendering with Houdini.exe or Husk.exe, where Deadline does not ship with a custom Husk plugin/submitter.

If you know the answers, it's pretty trivial, but if you don't it's definitely paralyzing. I'm a Deadline fan, but I wonder if Hqueue wouldn't maybe be a little simpler here. I've never used it though.

@chris_g I would have never discovered that on my own. Thank you very much, Chris! It works as expected.

Here's what I'm trying to do:




I embedded a custom script in my HDA.

Is there a neat way to somehow execute/interact with logic from scripts adjacent to PythonModule? For example, I'd like to define a class in a separate script and then use it in PythonModule.
