ChrisTempel Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm doing a fire simulation and my container is rendering as solid white, rather than allowing me to see the simulation inside. Any idea what I might of done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisTempel Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Solved (I think). I tried it with another material and it seems to render now. Can materials get corrupt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 keep in mind you probably have a boatload of invisible volumes from pyro. could be the shader was picking out the wrong volume for something.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisTempel Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Thanks, good to know. I'm pretty new to Houdini, so I'm still wrestling with it. Having another issue now where rendering to exr will only go for a few frames, then stop. No error message or popup that I can see explaining why. I tried png and those render just fine, except that the image is blank. I really need to render this with an alpha for compositing, but I can't leave Houdini rendering over the weekend if it's just going to stop every few frames.

carlo_c Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I had a similar problem, exr stopping rendering or erroring out. My quick fix solution was to use the houdini .pic format to render to then use mplay to convert them to exr afterwards since I needed them done asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisTempel Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 I will give that a go, Carlo. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
