Environment Variables List

In order to load Deep plugin in maya, you will only need to set MAYA_MODULE_PATH variable. However, when deploying Golaem Deep as a Maya module, or on the Render Farm, you may need to set some environment variables.

Notice that some of these variables may already be defined by system or custom scripts. It is then recommended not to replace the existing value, but append the Golaem related value to the existing value, using the appropriate separator (a ";" separator on Windows or a ":" separator on Linux).

Licence Variables

golaem_LICENSE
            or
RLM_LICENSE

Contains the full path to the Golaem license file to use ( (or license server information using the port@hostname format).

Any of these variables can be used (only one is needed), but it maybe more convenient to use the golaem_LICENSE variable to avoid issues with other software using RLM.

Maya Module Variable

When using advanced deployment, it may be needed to set this variable for Maya to find and load the Golaem module.

MAYA_MODULE_PATH

Contains the path to the directory where the glmDeep.mod file is located (e.g. the Golaem installation directory when using standard installation C:\Golaem\GolaemDeep-9.X-Maya202X).

Third Party Variables

These variables are mandatory for Golaem to work correctly and their values should be checked in case a problem arise. However, they should never need to be set manually, as they are set by the Golaem Maya Module file.

They are here for your reference when investigating a problem, for people wanting to control them in their own scripts or render with stand-alone versions of their renderer.

Generic Variables

The following variables are mandatory in order to successfully load the Golaem plugin and are required to render with any of the rendering engine listed below:

PATH
(Windows only)

Contains the path to the directory where the dependant binaries required by Golaem plugin are located (e.g. the bin/ folder in Golaem installation directory when using standard installation).
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(Linux only)

Contains the path to the directory where the dependant libraries required by Golaem plugin are located (e.g. the lib/ folder in Golaem installation directory when using standard installation).

This variable may be required only on some specific Linux distributions.
