Arnold

Hi there

I’m currently wrestling with an issue which I’m not entirely sure is even Arnold related, but I thought I would post in the hope that someone may have seen something like this before and could perhaps point me in the right direction.

We’re rendering maya scenes (2020.4 / Arnold 4.04) from Windows machines to deadline which is mainly made up of linux machines. However when rendering a scene with referenced assets that contain aiImage nodes the scene crashes on the farm. If I import the reference then it’s fine, if I replace all the aiImage nodes with file nodes then it’s also fine.

Has anyone experienced anything like this before?

Thanks

MtoA 4.0.4? Wow, that's kinda old.

I was going to say that MtoA replaces file nodes with aiImage automatically, but I don't know if MtoA 4.0.4 did that. I'll have to confirm.

Can you post an Info-level log from an Arnold render that crashes?

That looks like Maya crashes during scene load, while doing some color management stuff. SynColor can crash on headless machines if there's a problem initializing OGS.

It does complain about some missing OpenColorIO configuration files but is that enough to crash Maya? If that's the case is there a work around to this, like disablinig Color Management or something?
