Defining RenderSettings in a pre-script Dec. 18, 2025, 3:57 a.m.
Hi
I'm building a tool that uses the --prerender-script command for husk where the goal is to ingest a usd file lets say a model from Maya and through the pre-render-script I will rig up cameras, lights, rendersettings ect
My Question is , is it possibly to define the RenderSettings in a pre_render script, for my example I've exported a few usd file which contain all my rendersettings I need, samples, aov, ect and Im defining a /Render prim and referencing in that exported USD file.
The issue is husk is not using the USD file and I know this because the output directory where husk is saving the rendered image is incorrect, it goes to karma.exr not my directory.
- I know its in stage because I traversed the stage and can see the /Render prim and all its children are there.
- The Attributes and Relationships for the RenderSettings and RenderProduct are set aswell
I've attach a log where:
- I've printed out part of the stage tree and you can see the /Render prim is there
- The RenderSettings and Product Attributes and relationships with there values and also checking if the prim path is valid or not.
- A small snippet of code on how im Defining and Referring everything "selected_rendersettings" is the Exported USD File that contains the rendersettings properties.
Hopefully anyone could shed some light on this.
Thanks

Render-Time Procedurals Oct. 16, 2025, 9:01 a.m.
Hi
I'm busy trying to setup a render-time procedural to just, for now, add a cube to the stage at render-time but the script that it needs is giving me a error at runtime, if anyone knows the way to fix this would be much appreciated.
I have a python script which is setting up a Prim as a HoudiniProcedural, (Image Attached), there is a snippet that requires a script and I pass it a test script I have on my harddrive but its giving me this error at runtime.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
