*If your sub-version of Houdini is not supported, choose the main version supporting the renderer you use. Example: You have created a scene with the version 19.5.640 and Redshift, so you have to choose the 19.5.XXX which support Redshift.
You will find in the following pages information to help you to properly set up your Houdini project for the rendering on the RANCH COMPUTING render farm
