cwalrus Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Howdy - outputting .bgeo cache of a simulation - wondering if theres a way to see the viewport update while this is happening... ? It would be great to know what it looks like as it's rendering... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSugleris Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'm guessing you're on windows: Maybe there's an easier way that someone else may know but I usually: Navigate to your output DIR of the bgeo's and right click on your BGEO and choose open it with, then choose an application inside your houdini bin folder called GPlay.exe Now all your bgeo's should open with Gplay, You can diagnose the geo, check normals etc just like in the Houdini viewport, you can even unpack the geo if you want and look at the spreadsheet to check for attributes etc. Cheers Nico 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

static Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 If you use rops (rop output driver in SOP context) you can do a background render. It will launch a batch session and cache out your geometry, leaving you free to work in your interactive session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
