Nuke Write Prism / Deadline

#1 · 10. March 2021, 16:52

Hello Richard,

It seems that we can't send a Write Prism node on the farm using deadline because it does not create the rendering directory

Error: FailRenderException : >>> [16:46.16] ERROR: WritePrism1.WritePrismBase: Can't write, no such directory

at Deadline.Plugins.DeadlinePlugin.FailRender(String message) (Python.Runtime.PythonException)

Do you think that you could do something about it ?

Thanks a lot!

Can it be that your renderslave is using an old Prism version? Since v1.3.0.27 the directory should be created automatically. Or maybe there's an old WritePrism.gizmo loaded on the slave computer (in the .nuke folder)?

If you find the gizmo file you can check in a text editor if it has "create_directories 1" in it like here: https://github.com/RichardFrangenberg/Prism/blob/a620c875fc9e11b06415a00dff65a880e7959a26/Prism/Plugins/Apps/Nuke/Gizmos/WritePrism.gizmo#L43

Or are you using an older version of Nuke, which doesn't have the "create directories" knob on the default Nuke write node? Not sure in which version of Nuke that got added.

As a last workaround you can press the "Create directory" button on the WritePrism node before submitting it to Deadline.

Cheers,

Richard

Hello Richard!

Thanks a lot for the answer, it was indeed an issue that came from the gizmo that was loaded per user and not updated on our global "NUKE_PATH" folder.

Thanks a lot!
