Is it possible to have spline ramp as option in gradient node? Or to have it as a separate node? I think it is much more intuitive for adjusting float values than gradient node.

Yes, I figured out that packed objects work. But, from the production perspective, it would be better if alembic works. Is there a reason why the plugin do not recognize alembic but do recognize when the geo is packed in scene? There is so many scenarios where streaming alembic from disc. AFAK, most ...

Hello,
There is a crash when Packed geo instancing property is turned on, and there is alembic file inside geo node. Error says it's Houdini memory allocation problem.

The point is that I have a scenario where I load alembic in geo node, and do simple rotational transform. Imagine car wheel ...

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.

Maybe I could supply you guys with some repro scene for check-out?

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 ...

Could you share OSL sample displacement for us to play with in standalone?

Thanks.
Ivan

Hi,

I still see this same problem with 2021 under Houdini plugin. Any news?

Thanks.
Ivan

...and this happens on Windows under Octane 2020.2.4

Hi guys,

Whenever we update render version from octane cryptomattes change(no changes in materials or geometry being made)

I'm talking CryptoMaterialNode in this specific case.
When we render same file on two different PC's we have different cryptomattes.

It is rather irritating for compositing ...
