optix_denoiser.dll not found #8

Closed JenusL closed 6 years ago

JenusL commented 6 years ago

SItoA shows the following warning when rendering with Arnold 5.1.0.0

// WARNING : [arnold] unable to load dynamic library <local_workgroup_path>\Addons\SItoA\Application\Plugins\bin\nt-x86-64\optix_denoiser.dll: The specified module could not be found.

This doesn't make sense because the dll-file is clearly there in the folder with the rest of the core files. I don't know if it's a problem on Linux as well. The warning is harmless but annoying for now. I'm guessing that the Optix Denoiser wouldn't work if it was implemented now.

In Max, we had to add the plugin's directory to PATH, I need to check this.

JenusL commented 6 years ago

I just added the location to PATH and the warning is gone. So seems to be the same as in Max then. Any chance this could be fixed in the core?

JenusL commented 6 years ago

Arnold 5.2.0.0 still give me this error if I don't add it to PATH. @sjannuz What do you think is the proper solution?

sjannuz commented 6 years ago

Unfortunately, I don't have other proper solutions at this time. In Max we add the path to PATH in the code at start-up.

I started to look in to this and it's a bit tricky if we want it to work for both Win and Linux. Does anyone know if we even get the warning on Linux?

caron commented 6 years ago

I haven't tested it on Linux so I can't help there. I think we should fix Windows and wait for the community to show us it isn't working on Linux.

JenusL commented 6 years ago

I agree. Lets put it inside an ifdef so we don't break Linux.

JenusL commented 6 years ago

I've started to work on this now so I will put up a PR tomorrow.
