Houdini + Octane + Deadline questions

[seesharpstudio]

For the above screenshot - we had - Octane_2025.2.0.0_Houdini_20.5.550_Studio+_Win64

Did you setup anything special?

I tried my setup i've been using for 3 years, but can't make it work.

Not really, no. What error do you have or what doesn't work for you? Maybe I can share some pointers or tips - Deadline install is pretty straight forward - after that connecting the Deadline ROP to Octane ROP and submitting.

Sorry for the late reply!

Submitting works, and it also starts trying to render. But i then get errors in deadline.

They look like this:

Code: Select all

Thanks for helping out here!

Which version of Deadline do you use? Which version of Houdini do you use and which py?
