Hey Greg,

your setup should work fine, just enable "Packed Geo Instancing" on grid1 SOP's Octane tab.

Hey Juanjo,

still have random crashes when rendering larger scenes, tried using command line for the latest and managed to get some sort of crash report from Windows. I'm not sure if it helps, but this is what I got (nvidia 531.61):

Faulting application name: hython.exe, version: 19.5.0.569, time ...

Hey Alex,

yeah, you'll need to enable Pack and Instance on the CopyToPoints SOP and also Packed Geo Instancing for the object on the Octane - Properties tab.

If you don't need instances, you can simply pass the Cd attribute to Octane / Octane tab - Attributes Point float and Point vector set to Cd ...

So it's pretty weird, I didn't manage to narrow down to a specific issue. The first time I opened up Houdini and submitted a sequence render, got a crash after 4 frames. Opened up again, same scene, same settings and manually stopped the render at 60 frames - all went fine, no crash.

Not sure what ...

No error, no console messages, Houdini just quits. Scene and render works fine with 2022.1.0.6.
Can you share the scene to reproduce the problem here? It is clear that the latest fixes to avoid memory leaks while cleaning the ...

Hey Everyone,

I was working with Kitbash models recently and didn't really find any one-click solution for converting principled shaders INSIDE a material builder node.
So, I came up with a short Python script to save some time and do the task automatically. If you need it, code is available at ...
