Hi,
I correctly wrote the path to kick.exe in Deadline plugins configuration but when I launch a render on Arnold standalone instances using the right process for submitting from Maya I have this error :
The log :
Why is Deadline unable to find the Arnold Kick executable when I wrote the path correctly ?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved by tonyUXRWK. Go to Solution.
I don't think the path should include the executable name.
Thanks for replying Stephen, but in every other plugins configuration the path include the executable name ;
You're asked to choose the file directly when clicking on "..."
I added this line :
/opt/solidangle/mtoa/2018/bin/kick
as Thinkbox Support suggested but had the same error.
Works for me. I just had to set Configure Plugins > Arnold > Arnold Kick Executable
Try running kick manually, to confirm that it works.
Then run Process Monitor and see what Deadline is doing.
Going off of what @Stephen Blair said, did you set the kick path in the Arnold plugin or one of the Maya plugins? I recently set this up and it was a one shot and done, just make sure you put it in the Arnold “Release” zone.
Cheers,
Mike
Hello,
Thanks for your answers and sorry for the delay.
I was setting the kick path in the arnold plugin.
As I am using AWS Portal, intances were on Linux and not with the latest Arnold release so it was solved by adding in Deadline plugins configuration:
/opt/solidangle/mtoa/2017/bin/kick
