(fixed)[HOU-3429] Installing V-Ray breaks Karma

Houdini 19.5.368 - Py3.9

When I installed this build of V-Ray, there is a strange issue with Karma.

When I set off a render - either a BG render or a “render to disk” in the USDrenderROP, the render proceeds as normal, writes out the EXR when it is done, but then hangs. This means that no more frames are renderered, as the task is never complete.
Uninstalling V-Ray fixes the issue.

I am using Karma because I am rendering an ocean and don’t want to bake the spectrum.

I have attached a hip file. If you try to render a couple of frames, you will see that it renders the first frame then hangs forever. (You will need to write out the spectrum first) The logging doesn’t report anything - just that it is running post render scripts.

Hey @Dubbie99 ,

I can confirm the behavior is present on my end as well.

I’ve added a ticket in our system and we’ll try to resolve it as soon as possible.

Best regards!

Fixed in latest builds.

Thank you!
