hey guy's,


So I'm trying to submit a tops graph to our farm using the hqueuescheduler. I get it to submit but it fails instantly with the following error

…………………….
Bad parent found (parent is not a network): obj/shopnet1/volume/standard_volume1.init.
Bad parent found (parent is not a network): obj/shopnet1/volume/standard_volume1.def.

Warning: Bad node type found: arnold_vopnet in /obj/shopnet1.
Error: Problem while synchronizing child node:
Error: Bad node type found: arnold::edges in /obj/arnold_procedural1.

I assume this means its not finding arnold. My environments appear to be pointing to the right place though(see images). I navigated there and it seems correct.

Can anybody help?

PS. If i remove all arnold nodes and render with matra it works.

Thanks

You need to use forward slashes or escape the backslashes, take a look at your job diagnostics file through HQueue UI. They are being evaluated by houdini and so getting mangled on the job side.
