Please how can i render with prman directly in mplay?, i follow the tutorial at the odforce.net (prman setup) everything is ok, i hit render from the output node and its work property, but if i want to render directly on mplay, i have to install one of the plug ins that come with proto_install command, after that when i hit render again it display a c++ error and in the houdini console it shows

“D04001 {WARNING} DspyName couldn't find requested driver C/DOCUME~1/NECROB~1/RI_SHA~1/d_houdini.dll (No se puede encontrar el módulo especificado.)
R90011 {SEVERE} Can't open display image ip”

How can i do? please help me!!!!

Thanks.

When you are on the windows console, does the command “prman” or “shader” work? If not you should configure your install of renderman properly. If those work check if the houdini.dll file is in the right place. BTW, what is the c++ error?

Abd The c++ error is

—————————
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
—————————
Runtime Error!

Program C\Archivo…

R6034

An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I believe ri_display doesn't work on 64-bit Windows because it's 64-bit and prman is 32-bit.

that s not the problem, im working in a 32 bit windows plataform.

Please help me!!!

When you installed the plugin from proto_install did you let it make a test render? Did you let it modify rendermn.ini?

Yes, when the command line ask me if i want to do a test render i let it do that, but it didnt modify directly the rendermn.ini, it put a rendermn.ini file in MyDocuments windows folder, and i manualy copy the line in that rendermn.ini to the correct rendermn.ini located in the renderman pro server instalation, i copy that line at the end of the rendermn.ini.

I noticed there are two versions of houdini for windows 32bit, the vc7 and the vc8…you might want to change the version of houdini you have now?

This is a bug on houdini version 9.1.179. In this version the d_houdini.dll is corrupted. I installed another version and i resolved the problem.

Which build of 32-bit Houdini? VC7 or VC8?

the version is VC8

The proto install driver only works in the VC7 version, in the VC8 didnt work it put a c++ error why?

it should work on both versions.

I guess it depends on your windows build or version. I can imagine that vista use vc8 and that win xp still uses vc7…

same problem with you~

The compiler versions have to match when you compile C++ code to work with each other. I'm guessing it's because prman that you're using is compiled with VC7.

i have this problem in win 7 64bit . it is no problem in winXP 32bit

( version houdini 10.0.595 )

someone help me i appreciate very much
