Houdini Instance Node-how to set render layer?

[rustyippolito]

When you setup an Instance node, it does not include an Octane tab like a normal geo node, so how do you assign a render layer to an Instance node? It appears that it sets it to layer one and you have no way of changing it. Any ideas (asside from shifting all the other layers up from one)? If i do offset all the other layer up one and leave layer one for the instancer, Houdini gets SUPER unstable with IPR and crashes almost every time.

Hi, have you tried adding the +ObjParms from the Octane shelf - Is it not working for you?

[rustyippolito]

that worked.... never used that option before, thank you!

Ok glad it is working! No problem at all
