Hi Team

I’m writing a custom creator to publish data untill now I’m publishing locally it is working fine, but now I want to it submit farm job to publish for that I added render_target =Farm, added “publish.hou”, “deadline”, as a families and previously I have “usd”, “custom_publish” as a families.

after all this I have updated the extractor that it will not publish if the render_target is Farm now I’m getting error for Extract USD Layer Contributions **Unable to resolve publish path .
**
I know this error is common because yet the file is not generated locally to get published but I want know how to fix this.

FYI, creator is created for houdini

Thanks & Regards

Submitting to Farm in Houdini addon follows these steps:

  1. [houdini addon] Having render targets in your creator
  2. [houdini addon] Based on the selected render target in the publisher, CollectFarmInstances will set the essential farm instance data.
  3. [houdini addon] Collect Expected Files, because every product is different, we have multiple plugins for this step. CollectDataforCache, CollectKarmaROPRenderProducts, CollectMantraROPRenderProducts, CollectRedshiftROPRenderProducts, CollectRenderProducts (USD Rop), CollectArnoldROPRenderProducts, CollectVrayROPRenderProducts.
  4. [deadline addon] Submit Houdini and render Jobs
  5. [deadline addon] Submit publish job + render metadata creation

If you follow the other products we have, you wouldn’t need to do special thing.

For USD publishing, I believe @BigRoy can shed some light on it.
