Hi,

houdini 17.5, mantra render, cloud with cloud material renders fine in render view, but renders white in render to disk. I can even save the render view image also as an exr and it looks correct. Rendering same out node and camera. See image.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Adnan

Make sure your lights are set to raytrace shadows, and not depth map shadows.

Thank you! That was exactly the problem. 1 light had a shadow set to depth map instead of raytrace. I changed it to raytrace shadows and now it is good. You saved me a lot of headache. thanks!
