messages when rendering

[pasto]

Hello,

I get this message when scrubing at the beginning of the timeline :

*** OCTANE API MSG: This source doesn't contain any primitives!


and this one when rendering out to disk :

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 9, in <module>
  File "C:/PROGRA~1/SIDEEF~1/HOUDIN~1.632/houdini/python2.7libs\hou.py", line 19, in <module>
    import _hou
ImportError: DLL load failed: Le module spécifié est introuvable.
Could not initialize the help server:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:/PROGRA~1/SIDEEF~1/HOUDIN~1.632/houdini/python2.7libs\houdinihelp\api.py", line 74, in initialize
    bookish_app = get_houdini_app(dev=False)
  File "C:/PROGRA~1/SIDEEF~1/HOUDIN~1.632/houdini/python2.7libs\houdinihelp\server.py", line 25, in get_houdini_app
    import hou
  File "C:/PROGRA~1/SIDEEF~1/HOUDIN~1.632/houdini/python2.7libs\hou.py", line 19, in <module>
    import _hou
ImportError: DLL load failed: Le module spécifié est introuvable.

The french sentence means something like "the specified module is no present".

The file seams to render fine though but the messages are constant in the houdini console.

Thanx a lot.

Hi,

I'm not sure about the problem with the python errors. Perhaps these errors are not even related to the Octane plugin, because it doesn't use these modules at all.

The Octane API error message is related to the DIODES node. In the first part of the simulation, all the mesh points are placed in the same position, with exactly the same coordinates. These one point polygons are filtered by Octane, so at the end, you get an Octane mesh without any kind of valid geometry. You can ignore the error, the rendering should be fine anyway.

Thanks,
-Juanjo

Sorry for the .hou error I guess it comes from QLib ressources.

Thanx a lot for the answer, it renders fine indeed.
