I downloaded correct arnold version and houdini 20.0.590. It constantly showing "generating scene" but nothing show up.
I tried different versions, they all don't work. I deleted other renderers, it still didn't work
Does the "Houdini Console" show any errors?
Likely erroring on something behind the scenes...
amwilkins
But, I found it works in Solaris, in stage mode I don't know why... How to open Houdini console? It didn't automatically show up.
Hi everyone, thanks for reporting this. We haven't managed to reproduce this issue so far.
Which HtoA version are you testing ? If you can try the latest HtoA 6.3.4.0, it's possible that the error logs could give more info.
Thanks
it is using the latest HTOA. I will generate an output to share and also will compare to pc install

That's a Houdini license error message. You'll have to check your license. Google says that some people reinstall, and use hkey to check it.
This is not from Arnold or HtoA, and it certainly seems to be stopping the render.

I got old log from windows and new log from linux. Basically the the classic ROP has not worked for like half year for me. This is not a license issue, all licenses are set up correctly - Houdini works, Karma works, Arnold 100% works in Solaris but ROP is stuck on generating scene.
@tom_minor-arnold was able to repro the error and said: "I've done some testing on my mac and you're right, this is totally broken. I see a bunch of 'Library not loaded' errors because it can't find the Houdini libs. I've made a ticket to fix the rpaths ASAP (and figure out a way to catch this in our testsuite) - it's logged as HTOA-2706."

That (HTOA-2706) seems to be a similar, but different issue. There were errors loading libraries, and then a driver_houdini error, and I don't see that in your logs. In your logs, hick was able to open the driver but then it just finishes.

I've logged HTOA-2735 for this RenderView problem that ends with node_finish. But we haven't reproduced it yet.
Also, HTOA-2706 was a Mac-specific issue on apple silicon. So these problems on linux & windows would be different things, even though they all end up with a render error.
Regarding HTOA-2706, Tom's point about rpaths being broken was actually a false positive due to a custom build that he was testing. When using HtoA releases he was no longer able to reproduce it (which is why there hasn't been a fix so far).
Thanks for sending us all these logs, it helps because so far we're not managing to reproduce any of these issues which makes it hard for us to fix it. We're still investigating.
