Can we please get an eta on when we will see a new version of Octane for use with Houdini 21.0.440 and above? There are a LOT of new things to try and i would really like to stay with Octane, but if there isn't a version soon, i will be seriously looking into migrating to Karma... Please keep us in ...

I have a scene that was rendering in 20 just fine. I have since upgraded to 20.5.550 and when i load in the same scene, it instantly fills up all 24GB of VRAM on one of my 4090s. There is nothing happening in this scene that involves the GPU and i have not even invoked the Octane IPR yet. What is ...

Are there any plans to make Octane play nice with the new Cops in Houdini 20.5?

We are running Hou20.0.724 and Octane 2023.1.3.1. We have cached out a vdb sequence (generated with Axiom) to render a very simple scene. We have tried rendering with and without denoise volumes active, but this error still repeats every single frame. We are currently running in full scene reload ...

turns out i was using wrong octane version for newest houdini. Updated and this seems to be working now. Thanks!

I am using Production Build 20.0.724 with Octane 2023.1.3.1(Jun 10 2024). I have a scene using instance node that works fine in IPR but when i go to render sequence it hangs on first frame and returns the following error:

*** OCTANE API ERROR: device 1: failed to bind device to thread, since it's ...

that worked.... never used that option before, thank you!

When you setup an Instance node, it does not include an Octane tab like a normal geo node, so how do you assign a render layer to an Instance node? It appears that it sets it to layer one and you have no way of changing it. Any ideas (asside from shifting all the other layers up from one)? If i do ...

I am trying to offset the timing of a cached VDB sequence and i was wondering if there is a way to offset the frames as they come in via the Geometry Node's Octane/OpenVDB parameters panel. It would be so nice to be able to access the output of a retime node but i am just looking for a way to not ...

Sorry for not thanking you sooner, that was EXACTLY what I needed to get over this issue. My materials are quite complex and i had a workaround that involved blasting between two complete sets of geometry with two complete sets of materials (ON & OFF). Your solution allowed me to do it all in the ...
