conductor.houdini.hda.job module

Build an object to represent a Conductor job.

class conductor.houdini.hda.job.ChunkedJob(node, parent_tokens, scene_file)

Bases: conductor.houdini.hda.job.Job

ChunkedJob contains one task for each chunk of frames.

It also contains a set of token variables relating to the chunking strategy.

class conductor.houdini.hda.job.Job(node, parent_tokens, scene_file)

Bases: object

class Job holds all data for one Conductor job.

Jobs are contained by a Submission and a Job contains potentially many Tasks. Like a Submission, it also manages a list of environment tokens that the user can access as $ variables.

A regular Job is useful for simulations or other processes where it doesn’t make sense to split the job into time based chunks. A ChunkedJob is a subclass, of Job. A chunked job makes use of the frame range specification in the UI to calculate how to manufacture a Task for each chunk. A factory method is used to figure out if the job should be a Job or a ChunkedJob.

static create(node, tokens, scene)

Factory makes a Job or ChunkedJob.

ChunkedJob makes a task per chunk. Job makes one task representing the whole time range.
