Ok,

We have some fast moving jackets in shots and motion blur kills the scene, it gets extremely slow, CPU jumps up on 100% and often scene crashes.

Cheers.

Sometimes I just can't move a light in the viewport while it is rendering, and it takes sometime, and all of a sudden at some point it starts working normally.
It is hard to reproduce the issue.

Hi guys,

I always get optimistic in starting a project in Octane for Houdini and in the beginning things are simple and go well.
Bu as soon as scene gets to be a bit production ready everything it get's very, very slow and non responsive and I always end up transferring it to Octane Standalone ...

Thanks.
Ivan

When we render same file on two different PC's we have different cryptomattes.

It is rather irritating for compositing ...

Thanks Galleon,

That sorted things out.
@Juan might be worth setting better defaults or updating houdini doc pages with this info?

Cheers.

Hi,

I'm on Windows 7 with Houdini 18.5.351 with Octane 20.1.5.3.
Trying to render a sequence and only single file being written and overwritted.
This is my Image file path/prefix:$HIP/render/$OCTANE_PASS.$F

Any clue?

Thanks.

Hi Rohan,
when you let IPR go in houdini, if you right click on image you have option to save scene as orbix. In that case, your scene is saved with scatter nodes for instanced objects. But, if you export scene as archive from the rop, behavior is different, scene is baked in to alembic. I do not ...
