Starting out with Hqueue

[Fostertron]

Hi Guys,

 

Thanks to your help, I have a scene and a timeline ready to render and I'd like to do it using Hqueque. I'd like to access the EC2 computers since my machine would take too long to do it. 

 

I've made a stripped out scene to use as a Hqueue test and I installed Hqueue server and client when I installed Houdini but I get the following message:

 

 

I've followed the user guide but I've fallen at the first hurdle. I'm not sure what parameters I should check to troubleshoot this. Hserver is running according to the task manager and I haven't changed any settings from default including settings when installing the server. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Again guys,

 

As you probably know, I was being an idiot and was not choosing cloud but local to attempt to render. 

 

I've gotten a lot further now but I'm getting this error message:

 

 

export HOUDINI_PYTHON_VERSION=2.7 && export HFS=/opt/hfs15.0 && cd $HFS && source houdini_setup && hython $HFS/houdini/scripts/hqueue/hq_cloud_render_choose_hfs.py

 

/bin/sh: line 0: cd: /opt/hfs15.0: No such file or directory

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks again
