Hey Guys,

im still new to Houdini and i was wondering, if there is a way in mantra to make the snapshots permanent, so that there are remaining after restart houdini.

Would love to know.

Cheers

unfortunately, you only can save a snap shot (by disk button on the right of those snapshots) into disk. What stay at snapshot will gone forever once it crashes or restart. There is no history for Mantra snapshot like V-Ray did a very good job on that for their users.

Thanks for the reply.

Thants unfortunate actually.But good to know. In Vray i took it for granted.

Cheers!

this doesn't directly answer your question, but karma can do this. When using karma/solaris it saves the snap shot to disk and you can see it again when re-opening houdini. A lot of good features are being added but you have to use solaris to use them.
