bundles and subnets not working Tweet

[WhyGee]

Hi,
Bundles on the Octane ROP work fine as long as they are at /obj level. When I have objects in subnetworks and bundles pointing to them on the Octane ROP, it ignores them altogether. Only if I add the subnet itself to the bundle does it show up, but this is a different behavior than Houdini's bundle scheme if I'm not mistaken.

Attached a HIP with the issue.

Thanks
Yaniv

Thanks for reporting this issue. I will try to fix it if possible. It is not clear why it happens, because the bundle lists from patterns are managed by the HDK using the globbing functions, that should work without problems with any kind of pattern or bundles.

I have found the problem. The Octane scene loader was processing the subnets after processing the bundle lists, so if the subnet was not in the bundle all the nodes inside were not loaded at all.

It will be fixed in the next build.

Thanks again

Hi,
I think the issue still exists in v3 alpha 6 (both plugin and standalone).
Could you confirm please?

Thanks

Let me check it. I will test your scene again ASAP.

True. I'd swear it worked in my tests while fixing this problem

I will try to fix it as soon as possible. Thanks for reporting the problem again.

Sure thing. Thanks!

I think that finally I have fixed this problem, but it is not an easy task, so perhaps there are other side effects around all the available combinations of visibility/candidate/force/exclude lists. Anyway now the plugin should work better.
