Hi,

I'm struggling here trying to finish a render. I'm 669 frames through a 720 frame render and Mantra is exiting and giving me an error.

It's happening during the ‘compositing’ stage of the render. At least that's what it says in the little render dialog that shows up when you're rendering.

It first gave me exit code -1073741819.
Then, I rebooted and it gave me exit code 1 with some verbose text saying: Mantra error loading geometry obj/output/OUTPUT form stdin

I am at a loss as to where to go from here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

that exit code seems to come from windows and it seems to be a filesystem error.

how are you loading the data?

try to precache the data to .bgeo format (instead of loading from /obj/output/OUTPUT) to a different disk and load it from there.

hope it helps. please let us know.

Thanks,

All my simulations are cached out, not sure if that's what you mean by “precache the data.”
I'm somewhat new (1-year) to Houdini and am still learning.

I downloaded the latest production build and it seems to work now, but I'm still wondering if it will crop up again.
