Jack16277 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hello! I'm quite new to Houdini, and I'm trying to create an environment. The biggest problem is performance, since it constantly fills all my ram (64gb) When I scatter the elements with low poly and low density, the scene kinda works, but if I add higher version of the objects, it just freezes. I was reading I should be using packed geometries or instances, but I can't find the workflow to use with Karma/Solaris. Inside the Lopnet I use a copy to point to create the copies of the trees/rocks. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryew Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 It would be best to post even a simple example scene that demonstrates the issue you're dealing with in order to help others help you As much as the forum community wants to help each other, building scenes from scratch and trying to guess at your workflow takes time many busy people cannot spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the project file: https://ufile.io/6laimgb1 It's missing some geometries and the caches but let me know if it's enough to get the idea. So I have created a terrain, used a highfield scatter to create the point, then moved into Lopnet, where I imported the Sops (trees and rocks). Inside the Lopnet, I used the copy to point that comes from the highfield scatter. Please let me know if you need more informations, apologies in advance if I'm taking this a bit too quick Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryew Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I don't have enough experience in Solaris to provide insight on this, but have you already checked out the existing tutorials regarding instancing? ex: https://www.tokeru.com/cgwiki/index.php?title=HoudiniLops and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwungsau Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 yep Solrias is broken.. you instance some books and win bottle for descend instancing it not working well... try it for some weeks, fill bug reports and gave up. Solaris is not ready for Lighting / Rendering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
