in Softimage land you get a script window output that can gives you a detailed sort of event list including output from whichever renderer you;re using at the time. Anything like that in Houdini 16? Even if it just spat it out to a text file it would be useful?
Yes, it's on the Mantra node under the Rendering/Statistics tabs. It is called the Verbose Level. Turn it up and more messages will appear in the console during the render process.

weird, i get zip from the houdini console with verbose turned up to 5. I know divesting myself of the softimage way is going to be key to making houdini work for me, but I am surprised that there isn't a window that spits out a running commentary of what your doing in it.
