Render problem

[Alexander_Golubeff]

Hey. I'm trying to render a simple animation scene to disk. When I load scene into IPR Window, everything rendering correctly. But if I press "Render to Disk" with "Render Frame Range", in final output, I just get first frame with no update for other frames (125 rendered frames look like first one). I checked another file, everything is OK. What is the problem?

My Houdini version is 16.0.504.20
Octane version is 3.06.0.0

Hi,

It sounds like a scene update problem. What is the configuration of the ROP node related to the render mode? Full scene reload or update mode?

Thanks,

That was actually a problem. ROP node was set to "Update scene". I switched it to "Full scene reload". Now it works!
Thank you!

Yes, if the objects have for example changes in the mesh topology (not the same number of points or primitives along the sequence), the scene must be fully reloaded for each frame.
