Hi Juanjo will 2021.1.6.0 be updated like 2022 with the Studio+ licensing update? I'm still getting limited to 2 of my 3 gpus. Need to stay on 2021 right now. Thank you!

Reducing point/poly count seems to be helping. Will need to test a few more things, but I can get through a render sequence for the moment.

Not sure why I wouldn't get a warning more specific to a hard poly limit hit rather than a vague Unexpected Primitive Type error.

I've been trying like heck to replicate this issue outside my main file with no success. Is there a deeper program level I can access through Houdini or Octane to troubleshoot what is happening?

In general what is an "Unexpected Primitive Type" ? Just a bad geometric shape that sometimes ...

I've backtracked the error to the velocity "v" attribute.

I am transferring a custom velocity attribute from mesh A to mesh B. Then multiplying that custom velocity attribute with Mesh B's velocity to get a final v attribute. It has been rendering until it hits a certain frame. So now that I know ...

Anyone familiar with this Octane API error? It's crashing Houdini and Octane.
"unexpected primitive type 4"
or
"unexpected primitive type 254"

Unfortunately I can't provide a file.

Rather high poly geometry but not an issue for Houdini.

Going to keep troubleshooting on my end but would be ...

Hi Juanjo

Yeah confirmed that on my end regarding instances. Also tested out multiple nodes at 9 million and ran into same overall instance limit. Got much higher results with Octane Spheres as particles option as you suggest.

I did want to take advantage of using various hard edge primitives as ...

Searching around...100 million+ instancing possible as of Octane version 2021.1.1 ? Any successful examples, even just a box or sphere?

Running 2 3090's, 256gb system ram and hitting limit around 16 million. Low poly count but high object count.

Thanks all.
