houdini/RS conversion job crashes at end of sequence

a node with houdini engine picks up the first part (convert frames to RS files)

runs through them fine, then crashes repeatedly once the conversion sequence is done

can't see anything obvious in the log

seeing as the render part of the submission is a separate job, it then picks up the renders and works fine

not a show stopper, but seeing red jobs in RR Control freaks the artists out!

can up load a debug package if required

Hi

Yes, please upload a debug package.

But it might be that we cannot do anything about it.
If it is a bug that causes the crash, SideFX or Maxon has to fix it.

debug package uploaded...

as i said, not a show stopper, just thought it might be worth tracking down what was going on

Hi

Ok, I assumed you mean Houdini crashes after it rendered the sequence it should.
But RR rendered all frames and the post-script crashes.

In this case we have to fix it.

Workaround for now if you do not want to have these errors:
Disable the post-script “Sequence Check” for these jobs.

Now about the fix:

Unfortunately, I do not see any crash dump files in RRs log folder that we can analyse.

You have to create one.

1) Please follow the steps “Export Crash Dump files”:

https://www.royalrender.de/help/CrashLocation.html

2) Then run the commandline that crashed.
For example this one:

“C:\Program Files\RoyalRender\lc64\rrSequenceCheck.exe" -rrRoot "\\warp\fluid\RR" "\\warp\fluid\PROJECTS\J610_GR16\Databases\3d\farmtest\rsproxies\Redshift_ROP1.#.rs" -ocio_filespace "ACEScg" -ocio_view "ACES 1.0 SDR-video" -ocio_config "C:\ProgramData\redshift\Data\OCIO\config.ocio" -g -del -delMiss -seq 1 250 1 0 -minFileSizeKB 0 -jd "\\warp\fluid\RR\rrJobdata\J610GR16\B\BE9Sa_5B48+W_Houdini__abases3dfarmtestfarmtes" -threadID 0
