Render FilePath that Prism sets on ROP does not work due to the use of backslashes (Houdini/Vray)

#1 · 12. March 2021, 14:54

Hello Richard! I've recently started using Prism, and it's been completely amazing.

When testing the publish feature for a Vray (5.00.50) render on Houdini (18.5.351), there seems to be an issue with the filepath that is set by Prism on the ROP, as Vray isn't able to find the directory.

When trying to find a workaround, I noticed that Prism uses backslashes to define it. Just by changing the backslashes to forward slashes in the ROP solved the issue completely when rendering directly through the ROP "Render to Disk" button - but when clicking "Publish" through the State Manager it resets to using the backslashes.

Thank you!

Thanks for reporting this @oleite

I changed it to use only forwardslashes for Houdini exports and renders in the next Prism update (1.3.0.77).

Cheers,

Richard
