The only things Houdini needs are: 1) Rendering on GPU, 2) Keep improving simulations on GPU.

This software is mostly for creating pipeline. I thing that it is the best software on which studio's pipeline can be created. It is very good for VFX, procedural modeling, animation, and rendering. It is not texturing and sculpting software. It is very funny to see people, which compare Houdini with modo, zbrush, and other tools.

Rendering on GPU is the reality for these days. Fluids are already computes on gpu, so the next and the most important step is RENDERING ON GPU!

Aliluia!

Friends, the solution was a little bit stupid!

The problem was in space between hostnames!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mantra -H comp01, comp02 (gives an error)

mantra -H comp01,comp02 (works fine)

Hi,

I have 2 machines comp01 and comp02. Both are visible in the network. One has Ubuntu Linux 64bit, other has WinXP 64bit.

I am trying to render using these machines, but get some problems.

1) mantra -H comp01 (renders OK)
2) mantra -H comp02 (renders OK)
but when I try to use both machines I get an error:
3) mantra -H comp01, comp02 (Error)
In console I get:
mantra: Could not open imager
Error: Failed to create file “null: : Permission denied”.

What can it be?
