Hi all,


Sadly, I'm stuck (again) with scattering instances.


The attached example works fine with a copytopoints SOP with ‘pack and instance’ active. The trees render fine.


When using the same setup but a SpeedTree model (see screenshot), the speedtree materials are lost and the trees render white.

What causes this? How can I fix it?


Any input welcome! Thanks,
Matt

found a way that works for me now flexibly enough, using the instance SOP. Houdini 17.

have attached an example that also renders the materials.


hope this helps somebody else too!

cheers,
matt
