Hi,
Thanks for replying. First of all: Merry Xmas from Germany
The comments are only some thoughts I have. The plugin is already quite good!
In the kernel, you have an additional option to keep the environment background even if you enable the alpha channel.
Yes, thanks, but I don't want to see the environment or the HDRI. It would be great to choose the bg color.
About the IPR update, yes, currently the objects creation or modifications at SOP level are not updated in the IPR without reloading, this is something to be improved in the future.
Yes, definitively!
About your problem with the camera, this is something that I can't reproduce here. As soon as you release the mouse button, the camera is updated in the IPR. Currently, the camera is not updated until you release the mouse button, so I'm not sure when do you get this lag. Do you have this problem with any scene?
I usually work with Carrara + Octane plugin. I don't see a lag there. I used your plugin for the first time now. It seems that your plugin does not only transfer the camera movement to the API, but also some other information. When I press ALT and scroll with the mouse wheel, it takes up to 6-10 seconds, until the IPR and Houdini reacts. In the other plugin or the standalone version, I can move the camera without any lag.
make the IPR window dockable inside a Houdini pane
Would be great!
I look forward working with the Houdini plugin.
Best wishes,
Thomas
