I have the same or simular issue that I can send Jobs to the farm via Deadline, but it looks like the render progress hangs. Even if frames are rendered, he is not finishing the task and continues with the next frame.

Houdini 20.0.688 and Karma. Submitted via Stage Editor and USD Render Rop. Even if you do it via OUT/ Fetch and Deadline Submitter Node I have no success. But I also have Cryptomattes active.

Cheers,
Kay

Can you post a visual example of this?

Of course, here's a screencap of the parameter window showing the LPE set up and its output. Note that karma does not support 'negate' operation in LPE, so you'd negate it in comp should you need it.

Thanks again for the informations about the LPE Expression Stuff. I'm now a bit more less stupid. It works like it should, but I now have the issue, that the renderpass with that mask of my Character with fur is not solid black. Ofcourse because the Karma Fur Shader or these kind of shaders in general behave like refracting materials.

Sorry, I can't share a picture. But maybe you or someone else have an idea how to solve this kind of problem.

THX,
Kay
