> [!abstract] Summary > **Houdini → Deadline** integration — submit Houdini renders (and TOP graphs) to the Deadline farm. Multiple paths exist: built-in Deadline submitter (`Submit → 3D → Houdini`), **Prism LOP Render** with Deadline checkbox, or Andy Nicholas' **hou-farm** submission tool. --- # Submission Options ## 1. Built-in Deadline Submitter From the Deadline Monitor: **Submit → 3D → Houdini**. Pick scene file, render node (`/stage/<USD_Render_ROP>`), pool, priority, frame list. See [[../../../ARTFX OSMIUM/DEADLINE/Notes/Render to Deadline without Prism|Render to Deadline without Prism]] for the full step-by-step. ## 2. Prism LOP Render Inside the Solaris graph, use **PRISM LOP RENDER**, check **Submit Job**, configure submission settings, Execute. See [[../../../ARTFX OSMIUM/DEADLINE/Notes/Deadline For Alternatives Productions|Deadline for Alternatives Productions]]. ## 3. hou-farm (Andy Nicholas) A community-built submitter that wraps a lot of Deadline pain. Worth evaluating if you need richer per-job dependencies or batch-friendly workflows. > [!info] Source > [hou-farm — Deadline submission tool for Houdini (Andy Nicholas)](https://www.andynicholas.com/post/hou-farm-deadline-submission-tool-for-houdini). --- # Useful Patterns - **TOP + Deadline** — chain a `TOP Network` with a Deadline Scheduler node to wedge + farm-render variants in one shot. - **ROP Fetch** — drive a single render layer from multiple cameras or settings. - **`@wedgeindex`** in output paths to avoid file collisions. --- # 🔗 Related - [[6.121 HOUDINI TOP network|TOP network basics]] — wedge fundamentals. - [[../SOLARIS/WORKFLOW/SOLARIS TOP Render Fetch|SOLARIS TOP Render Fetch]]. - [[../../../ARTFX OSMIUM/DEADLINE/DEADLINE MOC|DEADLINE MOC]] — full farm documentation. - [[../../../ARTFX OSMIUM/DEADLINE/Notes/Render to Deadline without Prism|Render to Deadline without Prism]]. - [[../../../ARTFX OSMIUM/DEADLINE/Notes/Deadline For Alternatives Productions|Deadline for Alternatives Productions]]. - [[../../../ARTFX OSMIUM/TOOLS/Notes/Folder Generator - Arthur Cauchois - Houdini 20.0 HDA|Folder Generator HDA]] — pre-create output dirs.
