HUKE rendering Nuke on Hqueue

[daland_twist]

Hi Everyone,

I am using Hqueue to render from Nuke. I am working on a more elegant solution that can be fired off from within Nuke this week, but thought I would share what I have so far. It's super simple right now, I am still working on making each frame a child of the job to keep the Render Que tidy. Anyways, it's a start. Once I have the nuke submission gui done I'll post it up. Thank you SESI for giving us HQUEUE it has made bringing Houdini back into our studio a whole lot easier. There are a lot of uses for HQUEUE beyond just rendering frames and sims.

import xmlrpclib

#HUKE

# Connect to the HQueue server.

hq_server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://greenmeanie:5000")

J = 1

while J <= 55:

# Render Nuke thru HQUEUE".

job_spec = {

"name": "HUKE RENDER SUBMISSION %s" % (J),

"shell": "bash",

"command": "/usr/local/Nuke5.1v5/Nuke5.1 -tix /xraid/people/daland/xxx.nk %s" % (J)

}

# Submit the job to the server.

# newjob() returns a list of job ids (in case multiple jobs are passed in at once).

job_ids = hq_server.newjob(job_spec)

J = J + 1
