Hi everyone,

Are there known issues with the new Modo 17? Or specificly from bringing scenes from older versions?

I had a scene that on PC would not even load, crashing modo every time. Then I tried on Mac, where it loads, but if I try to render animation, it will render 3-5 frames and then crash ...

Gosh I knew this had to be something very simple, thank you Funk!
It was the "relationship" toggle you mentioned.

After fixing that, I now get no render. It takes a while to respond, so I am guessing it might be my VDB or my render setup.
Should the volume just render after plugging those in? Or do ...

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to render a static VDB but the steps that are in the documentation no longer work. :(
Specifically, when we create a workspace and bring in both Volume item and VDBVoxel items, there's no way to connect them if you alredy have any octane overides.
If you do that connection ...

Is it possible to implement spectron lights in Modo? They look like a really powerful lighting option.

Thank you Juanjo!

You did it! I had no idea that all paths should be declared in the same variable.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Juanjo,

Thanks for responding.
I do have the latest version installed, and I created an Otoy folder on C drive, like on your example.

Here's my env file:



HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2
PATH = "C:\Otoy\Octane_2018.1.3.0_Houdini_17.5.258_Win64\bin;$PATH"
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:\Otoy\Octane_2018.1.3.0 ...

Hi @Juanjgon
I'm having the same issue now that I updated to Houdini 17.5.258
I've downloaded the latest matching versions of the plugin and standalone, but its not loading. (Octane_2018.1.0.7_Houdini_17.5.258_Win64)
I even changed my directory to the same path as on your example.
Is there a way to ...

Hi Juanjo,

Will substances be supported at some point? There now seems to be support for them in Mantra.

Thanks,

Paul

Question: We used to be able to get separate meshes when exporting to ORBX if there was no animation. Now we always get everything packed into a .abc geo node. Is there a way to keep objects separate when there is no animation?
I've seen this implemented in C4D where they get an option when they ...

Hi Paul,

So I have updated to the latest version, with no luck.

I've exported as orbx and ocs and there is still no timeline available to review or process the animation sequence.

Could I be missing something to activate the animation?

Regards,

Paul B.
