Farm Render issue

Hi Team

From houdini I’m creating a USD render product with Arnold as renderer when I select Farm rendering or Farm Export & Farm Rendering it is rendering black frame.

the issue I found with my investigation is when I’m using ayon nodes(ayon load shot, ayon load asset or sublayer with load with ayon option) it is generating __render__.usd doesn’t contain any data and it is generating black render image.

in below two cases it is working fine:-

  1. If I select Local Export & Farm Rendering option it is working fine.

  2. if I use directly sublayer node giving path of the USD file it is generating the ___render___.usd file properly with all data in it and also render generate with proper details.

I’m using below versions of addon and softwares

core: 1.9.0
houdini addon: 0.10.0, houdini software: 20.5.654
deadline addon: 0.7.2, deadline monitor: 10.4

Thanks

Does this mean the farm job that’s responsible for generating the usd file doesn’t work as expected?

Yes, it is not creating proper render file.
