OctaneRender 2020.2 for Houdini Beta build 2020.2.0.1 RC6

[juanjgon]

any idea when a demo will be released for this? excited to try out

The demo versions are usually available once we release the first stable builds.

Thanks,

Hello!

The "Instance object node" works only the first time I render it. If I close the IPR window and relaunch it, it gives me an error. Even if with only one instance.
To restart the render I have to close Houdini and reopen it.

I have 2080ti x2 and I tried to disable the RTX option and also the NVlink but the problem is not solved.



Here the error and I attached a scene as example:

*** OCTANE API MSG: device 0: failed to bind device to thread, since it's already bound
*** OCTANE API MSG: device 0: failed to initialize context
*** OCTANE API MSG: device 1: failed to bind device to thread, since it's already bound
*** OCTANE API MSG: device 1: failed to initialize context
*** OCTANE API MSG: device 0: failed to initialize render thread 000000522DA9E710
*** OCTANE API MSG: device 1: failed to initialize render thread 000000522DA9E920

Vectron parameter's with underscore character in them worked fine in 2020.1, now they return zero and throw this error:

23:03:51 ERROR: [vop] The pin Displace Use is not available in this Octane node

This breaks a lot of code.

Beside this problem it seems more stable with vectron scenes, great work!
