Octane Scatter and Alembic in same scene

[Mikla]

Hi;

I have an interesting problem with octane scatter and alembic file in the same scene in r17.

When I render the scene in LV i can see the alembic mesh. But when I render it to the picture viewer i cannot see the mesh.

Then I disabled the scatter objects and re-render it to the picture viewer and i was able to see it. So clearly there's a conflict between the alembic generator and scatter object.

Could this be a priority issue? I cannot select any priority in scatter object nor in the alembic generator. Have any of you came across with this sort of problem before?

Btw I dont have this problem in r20 but sadly all my plugins and setups are in r17 so i cannot switch to r20.

I cannot share the scene file sadly but if it helps i can try to replicate the issue with a new scene and post here. My main reason to post here to learn if this has happened to anyone before and maybe they have a workaround.

Thanks.

What's the reason of using alembic generator?

Hi;

I have a realflow sim that i've exported as alembic. I want to duplicate and use the meshed sim at different frames instead of adding multiple realflow objects. Also it's easier for render farm this way.
