Setting up Prman for Nuke 6.2 launched from the shell in OSX/Linux
Lots of people are having issues getting Prman working with Nuke 6.2. So this is a basic tutorial on setting up the proper environment variables you need for launching Nuke from the shell under osx & linux.
Bash Shell setup
In a text editor create the file ".bash_profile" in your $HOME directory (/Users/yourUserName under osx or /home/yourUserName under linux)
1. Add the following to your bash_profile:
Osx:
export RMANTREE=/Applications/Pixar/RenderMan.app/Versions/RenderManProServer-15.2
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$RMANTREE/lib
Linux:
export RMANTREE=/opt/pixar/RenderManProServer-15.2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$RMANTREE/lib
2. Type in your shell "source .bash_profile".
3. Start Nuke from the command line and now the Prman node should work.
Nuke 6.2v1 --nukex
Tcsh Shell setup
Linux and Osx typically use the Bash shell by default but if for some reason your using tcsh, then here is a modified version of the above instructions.
To figure out your current shell type, type:
ps | grep "$$"
You should get an output which looks like this:
19596 ttys000 0:00.25 -tcsh
31425 ttys000 0:00.00 grep 19596
1. In a text editor create the file ".tcshrc" in your $HOME directory (/Users/yourUserName under osx or /home/yourUserName under linux)
2. Add the following to your .tcshrc:
Osx:
setenv RMANTREE "/Applications/Pixar/RenderMan.app/Versions/RenderManProServer-15.2"
setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH "$RMANTREE/lib"
Linux:
setenv RMANTREE "/opt/pixar/RenderManProServer-15.2"
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "$RMANTREE/lib"
Comments
it seems that libprman.dll is a new lib create int he last prman version...
1. Set system variable "RMANTREE" to C:\Program Files\Pixar\RenderManProServer-18.0\
2. And add C:\Program Files\Pixar\Ren derManProServer -18.0\lib to system variable "path"
(path variable is the equivalent of DYLD_LIBRARY_PA TH)
