Hi I'm using cryptomatte with Houdini (17.5) and octane (2019). It works perfect in Nuke, but in Fusion it doenst. (other engines like arnold and redshift are behaving more consistent, opening the same .exr file in both compositing applications)
There are specific settings in the C4D + Octane documenttaion about using cryptomatte (uxing .exr(octane) and not .exr for example)

But I'f I am correct the word cryptomatte doenst even appear in the houdini dcumentation yet? when is this planned to be added?
Are there specific rendersettings that should be different when using cryptomatte with Octane in Houdini as well?

Hi,

I'm not aware of any option related to the cryptomatte file export that could be configured from the plugins side. Do you know if a cryptomatte file exported from the Standalone has the same problem?

Thanks,
