Vray Deadline - Houdini 21.0.512 $FBATCH empty

V-Ray for Houdini V-Ray for Houdini :: Issues

Hello,

I encountered an issue with using the vrayDeadline Node for submitting vrayRenderer. VrayDeadline now only works if the tag $FBATCH is used inside the export filepath. But that variable is empty, which makes it unusable.
With Vray6 it was also possible to use the standard $F tag, like xxx.$F4.vrscene.
Is it possible to bring back the $F tag?

Current Version: Houdini 21.0.512 / Vray number:23162 hash:8fe1d2e from 17 Jan 2026

Thanks in advance!
Julian

Yes, please bring back xxx.$F4.vrscene and sepereate .vrscene files per frame… as of now, even if the ${FBATCH} is set in the file path the deadline submitter complains that it needs to be set.
