Publishing multiple render product in houdini

[Olivier]

Hello, i m trying to publish multiple render product in the same render.
I set up my karma render settings to generate 2 exrs files.
But when i try to publish i have this warning from the publisher :
Skipping Render Product: UsdRender.Product(Usd.Prim(</Render/Products/Tech>))

The render product that is skipped is the other one and not the one in the warning.

Do you guys know a way to be able to publish multiple render product without the publishing skipping one of them ?

What i’m tring to do is have an exr that i can compress with dwaa and the other that stays a zip compression.

Thanks

you should be adding aov identifier for each render product in you USD.

Houdini local render and publish existing frames error

Just for reference, the local publishing logic generates a render instance for each render product even if you have one render product resulting in the original instance + run time instances for each render product. This expecting an aov_identifier to differentiate the run time instances. s@ayon:aov_identifier = "Beauty"; The error you were seeing above happens because the aov_identifier was defaulting to "" empty string which resulted in the same instance name {product[type]}{Task[name]}{Va…

Thank you, when i add s@ayon:aov_identifier = "Beauty"; to my render product, it does work.
Is it planned that the publisher auto add the identifier ? or do we have to add it manually (i can do an hda for that), it is just to know what the workflow is supposed to be

I should add,
If it’s the official way to be able to publish multiple render product with solaris, it’ should be best to add it in the documentation ?

yes, the current workflow expects the aov identifier. also, keep in mind the filter used for generating reviewables is run against the file name.

adding Houdini solaris render workflow to docs is on my radar.
