Baldric Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hello everyone. I am new to rendering in Houdini, and I am trying something very simple. I have an object in my scene, an arealight, a ropnet with a mantra-node. As soon as I press render in the interactive renderview houdini starts generating the scene, but it never stops doing this, and never starts actually rendering... What am i doing wrong here? Could it be a bug? I am using version 13.0.198.21 Also, when not using the "ipr", but just going to render and try to set off a normal render I cannot do this either without creating another rendernode... This confuses me. What's the deal with the ropnet in the object context vs a mantra node in the out context? As I said, I am a noob, but hope that you can help me a bit here.

Guest tar Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 1st thing to try is to download the latest build - H13.0.376, the one you are running is almost 200 versions old You don't need to create a new render node for normal rendering for but you will need to create a camera to render through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldric Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 well, I guess thats a good idea. Will try to see if that helps. Thanks! Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldric Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Nope. Does not help. Am just trying to render a simple grid, and even that is failing... Rendering normally through the render menu works fine but that is not interactive of course. What have I overlooked here? Am I doing something wrong? Help would be appreciated.

Guest tar Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 it should work - check the terminal/console from where you launch Houdini for a read out of errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nailcuter Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 That happened to me too when I'm using the older version but just get the latest and it should be good. I think the the rop network and out is just organization thing, look more tidy. I usually just set up my scene like the attached picture and everything works fine..
