Cannot Upload to Chaos Cloud

[poramate_chotvararak]

I'm using Houdini 19.5.403 with Vray Core 6.00.21 and Cloud Client 1.28.0 (Windows).
I tried to upload to Chaos Cloud first with chaosCloud rop node and it did nothing.
So I exported a vrscene and uploaded with Cloud Client, the output format came out wrong preventing me from submit.
I have no idea what happen. What should I do? Thanks.

I'm not a tech guy, but at least upload a vrscene should work. I put in a right file format but after analyzing why did I got "The specified output type in the is not supported by Chaos Cloud. ...".
I bought credits to finish a project quickly, turns out I have to render on my machine.

Dear poramate_chotvararak, hello.

Excuse us for the delayed response.
I will answer at the newly created ticket as well after writing here.

About the Error shown at the Chaos Cloud portal when trying to submit - if you uncheck Save Image before exporting the .vrscene file, you will be able to submit successfully.
We will try to improve the message to avoid confusion, this is a Houdini specific detail.

From what I am seeing at the screenshot you haven't connected the Chaos Cloud node to the V-Ray Render node. Could you please connect them and try again?
Please take a look at our official doc page - Rendering in Chaos Cloud, this is a mandatory step to make it work.

Best regards,
TS

I'm so sorry. That's my bad. Thank you for helpful info.
Ok, I connected render node to the Chaos Cloud node and clicked the upload button and I got this error "Chaos Cloud upload is aborted!".
So I exported a vrscene with save image turn off and upload with Chaos Cloud Client. This time it let me submit and start rendering, but they were all failed.
Not know why, but I can render on my laptop.

Hi again,

Looking at your Cloud job now.
It has failed and credits are refunded right away, please try to resubmit - I was able to render and see the owl.

In addition, please be informed that we recommend using our latest builds available here: https://nightlies.chaos.com/main#/vr...ini/stable/6.1
It will be highly appreciated to update and confirm is the Cloud submit working also from Houdini environment - to solve everything that you are experiencing as a blocker now.

[poramate_chotvararak]

Ok, the owl was done, so I tested with a pack.
I installed this build and uploaded to Cloud.
