nice!

do I understand it right that we are able to render volumes as:
- houdini volume primitives
- or as a vdb but from disk

its not possible to render vdbs directly out of houdini (without having them cached on disk), only when converted to classic houdini volume prims.
is that right?

I cant ...

its not about a particular attribute, its more about general access to attributes.
right now I am doing some procedural modeling where I use some dozen attributes to help me with the shading. which is therefore procedural too.

hey
Houdinis main advantage against all other packages is the access to all generated data. Which is rendered useless with octane for the moment.
Ive could really use attributes at rendertime, and for point instancing too.

Is this planed to implement or straight up not possible with octane?

ah of course.. I always forget to apply the octane properties. thanks for pointing that out.

hey

when using point instancing, the source transform should not be applied to the instance.
furthermore we need some way to hide that source, as for now we need to have it visible in the render for it to be visible as instance.

hey it would be great to have support for the instancefile attribute, for loading on disk geometry.

'/bin' damn, that was it, I am so sorry for the noise.
Thanks for helping out!

standalone is working fine, paths are also good. the error message shows the right path so hou is trying to load the dll.
is there any way to check if the c++ package is installed correctly, or if I have right version? went thru that link in the docs

its an new install of win 7. the c# package is installed. guess there is something else missing

I cant load the plugin anymore, and I have no idea why..
