Am having a problem overriding the resolution && sample options when running mantra on Linux from a shell or command line. This forces me to re-render ifds when I just want to update the resolution and sample rate.

The following commands work on both OSX & Linux…

mantra -I resolution=640x360 < test.ifd test.exr
mantra -I resolution=640x360 test.exr < test.ifd
mantra -I sample=4 < test.ifd test.exr
mantra -I sample=4 test.exr < test.ifd

The following commands work on OSX, but cause mantra to hang on Linux…

mantra -I resolution=640x360,sample=4 < test.ifd test.exr
mantra -I resolution=640x360,sample=4 test.exr < test.ifd
mantra -I resolution=640x360,sample=4x4 < test.ifd test.exr
mantra -I resolution=640x360,sample=4x4 test.exr < test.ifd

Anyone know of a syntax that will work on both OSX and Linux?

Have had a support ticket open with SESI since last year about this.

Currently using H15.5.565 on Debian 7.11 & OSX 10.11.6

Cheers

Have you tried with a recent build?

Well. That looks promising. Will give it a try when I'm back in the office later today.

Thank you.

Woo Hoo!

Houdini 15.5.595 Fixed a bug parsing -I option separated by commas for mantra, which could have caused crashes.

Works again.

Thank you.
