script to render scheduler / render Background

[cyril]

Hi,

 

is there a Houdini scripting way to trigger a render in background on a rop_geometry ?

 

Although with python, there's a rop_geometry.render() command, there's no rop_geometry.backGrournd.render()

 

Is it possible to add a job to a houdini queue ? should I start via python a houdini render in command line ?

 

Cheers

With python you could use http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini13.0/hom/hou/Parm#pressButtonwhich would be the same as clicking the background render.

 

You can also just do rop_geometry.render() from a new hbatch session as that's essentially what the background render button is doing.

 

As far as I know there's no way to interact with the render scheduler as far as adding jobs to it, but if anyone knows how I'd be interested.
