Houdini 18.499 and blank PMC

[terencemace]

Hello all.

When using Octane 2020r3 in Houdini, I can render using path tracing, but when I change the kernel to PMC, the IPR goes black. Any idea what’s happening here?

Thanks!

Probably you have the denoising enabled. The PMC kernel is not compatible with the denoising feature, and the rendering is always black if it is enabled.

Thanks,
