Hi Folks,

Working on a class assignment using my purchased version of Houdini Indie. According to the following webpage, Houdini Indie Limited-Commercial is capable of rendering 1920x1080 OpenEXR.:

My MANTRA render settings, and overrides, are correctly configured to 1920x1080 but I'm only getting 1280x720.

Could someone be so kind as to confirm the maximum render resolution when working on a .HIPNC (Houdini Indie Limited-Commercial Non-Commercial) projects?

I'm moving my projects back-and-forth between School and Home (Houdini Indie).

Perhaps updating the above-link to reflect the limitations of all possible Houdini modes would be helpful … seems like a few Houdini modes aren't noted.

Regards,

In H14 HIPNC is a non-commercial file and is limited to 1280x720

HIPLC is a limited commercial file and can render 1920x1080, and recently 1080x1920, I believe.

Much appreciated MatrybNz!

Saves me hours of troubleshooting and/or trying to figure out what I could have done wrong.

Cheers,

Just had another look at the link I posted above, took a few more times of reading to get how the table information is presented in the context of what I'm seeing when I move a project between “modes”.

To clarify, if your project has at some point been saved from a NC session, it will not “upgrade” to an LC session if you load it to indie, so it will always only render as 720p from that point on. (At least it works like that between NC and commercial, so I presume it's the same between NC and LC)

Appreciate the reply.

You are correct; haven't cared much until now as I've not had any finals to render.

Not particularly interested in babysitting a render overnight at school … guess I'll need to negotiate a 1280x720 final submission with the instructor.

:wink:

Just scale it to 1080p and say “2x speedup of rendering achieved by subsample filtering”

LOL … I'll give that a try … the instructor has eagle eyes though, so he'll likely take it as a “sales pitch”.



Cheers,
