Hello,

I wanted to render a simple particle explosion shockwave with a low amount of particles but lots of motion blur (around 400k particles, Shutterspeed 5 seconds). Additionally, the particles are moving very slow. This seems to result in some weird motion blur behavior (trails shooting in the ...

Ah, thats good to know. Ive been wondering about why this happened. Thanks for the additional info.

Is it just me or are some of these smaller issues not documented anywhere? I have read the manual but dont remember stumbling across this.

I uploaded it now, I tried rendering with full scene reload but the same issue keeps appearing.

I forgot to mention that I still get an image saved to disk, it just doesnt look the same compared to the IPR at all. If you want I can post a comparison.

Hi,

I have a problem rendering a pyro sim in Houdini 17.5.391 using Octane 2019. No idea what causes it. I have Cached the sim to disk, not sure if that matters. I get the same issue when caching to RAM.

The render is displaying correctly in the IPR but when writing to disk, I get an error message ...

Hello,

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for!

In C4D this is fairly simple to setup, but how can I create a Mandelbulb Vectron in Houdini, where do I get the code for this? Is it even possible if I have no knowledge of OSL?

I solved it just now, found an old post with the same issue, installed in the wrong directory.

I have exactly the same issue, Octane loaded without UI. I upgradet to R21 from R20, Octane worked perfectly before the upgrade. The RES folder is full of icons, I extracted and installed everything correctly. Not sure why this is happening.

Thank you Juanjo, exactly what I was looking for.
