musickent Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I tried use mantra3 in Houdini 6 for rendering atmosphere - halo, why it always says: "Could not open the script or pipe Could not write out to the script or pipe Failded to complete render: mantra1 " Is it because my houdini 6 is non-commercial? plz help.. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Hi there, mantra3 is no longer supported in Houdini 6.0 and also, COPs, MOPs and TOPs. Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musickent Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 rendering atmosphere - halo -- not for atmosphere ,but for fog -halo. mantra3 is no longer supported in Houdini 6.0 and also, COPs, MOPs and TOPs. -- but why i can find it in Mantra render command? if it is not supported, how to render fog - halo which uses omantra(mantra v3) before???

Jason Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Yeah, SESI should hide the ROP now.. Try the VEX Lit Fog shader - it'll work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musickent Posted April 18, 2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2003 not sure how to do . i always get a render filled with fog instead. I want to make a halo for a sphere, eg a lighbulb halo.. can some give me a simple example? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plan9 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 hmm... iam not sure on this, but if one is using an atmosphere obj wouldnt it be for the worldspace and not local to, say, a light bulb? i was looking in a light object, and there is a parameter called atmosphere...never played with the stuff, but it looks like something you are after.

Mcronin Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I haven't tired to render any fog n Houdini 6 yet, other than these tutorials... Maybe they'll help... http://www.vislab.usyd.edu.au/sidefx/houdi...ting/index.html Look at "Fog" and "Relighting a Scene" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
