Hello,
The Solaris licence INDIE is bugging on Houdini 18.5.351.
https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/76640/
Can you make a version for Houdini 18.5.408 ?
Thank you,
Benjamin

Hi,
Is there a pilot on the plane?
Can we already use the "Collect" material node in material library with Octane Hydra?
Besides, it would be really nice to have a list of the features really implemented to date? please
Because for the moment, indeed the viewport returns an image with Octane,and we can adjust some parameters more or less hacky, OK
but I am talking about implementation in Solaris and being able to use the features which are dedicated to this context ...
All the Octane panels are empty for now ...
so just to save a little time, the question is what can we do in Solaris with this plugin now?

Hi Ben,
Apology for the late reply.
Sure, we will make the build as soon as we get the updated H18.5.408 main plugin.
As an update, SideFX has confirmed us the material bug is related to the USD library.
Cheers

Hi Pxintwrk,
Unfortunately, we can not use the "collect" material node yet. We are working on it.
The Solaris features in Houdini and USD itself are all experimental right now.
So, we can just do an experiment with it (NOT PRODUCTION READY).
If something does not work, please let us know.
cheers

pretty much nothing Octane related works as it should in this context.
cheers!

Hi Pxintwrk,
Octane Render Target node in Solaris works via Material library node and SideFx has confirmed the USD library is broken in H18.351.
Hopefully, they will get it fixed in the next release.
For now, please feel free to use the Houdini 18.0.597 which is more stable.
Cheers

Hi BK, how are you?
Have you made any progress on the development?
Besides, is there someone at Otoy dedicated to the development of this plugin?

Hi Pxintwrk,
Sorry again for the late response.
The USD library bug has been reported directly to Pixar devs. (waiting for a reply).
Unfortunately, the same material library bug can be reproduced in the H18.5.408 so, there will be no release until they help fix this.
Yes, we do have a developer dedicated to the development of OctaneHydraSolaris plugin.
Cheers

glad to know
Let's not speak too loudly, so as not to wake him up...
and thank you for the confirmation that nothing is happening at all on the side of the OctaneHydra plugin.
