Houdini & Octane Rendering Moving Flag Tweet

[Fakit]

Hello everybody,

I'm new here, and i hope i'll be clear to explain you my problem.
I made a moving flag on houdini. But now, i try to apply some material to it.
But what happen is my material is filling the hole between the moving rope/flag and my flagpole.

It worked with houdini/mantra material, but not with octane.
I guess i'm doing something wrong maybe.
I let you some screenshot, hope it will help you.

So... I tried to find a solution.
And it seems that it's not an "Octane" problem, but more a Houdini modeling problem.

My rope was just a line (it sounds like the beginning of a pop song).

I added to it some thickness (with a "curve surface" node) to transform it from simple line, to thin round tube (like a rope).
So i think Octane understand what's the object.
And it's good for now. Just wanted to post my solution, just in case another person ask.

Thank you
