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.

Does it work when publishing the workfile while enabling use published scene in deadline profiles?
you can also debug it by opening the workfile scene and debug it from there.
