Hey,

I'm trying to render some objects that I put inside an object network in a geometry context. I cannot get mantra to render the object.

I guess it make some sense that the object isn't rendered as part of the * pattern specifified in the object lists but even explicitly specifying the object in the forced object list won't work?

I've attached a hip file illustrating the problem. The scene contains a box, that contains an object network with a sphere object. I can object merge the sphere into an object at the top level and render it, but I cannot get mantra to render the object inside the object network of the box.

The thing I'm trying to do is to create a digital asset where I'm baking texture maps using mantra, so i have managed shop, object and rop networks inside my geometry object for generating additional versions of the geometry and texture maps.

Regard

Because of the way object networks and Mantra work, in order to render the sphere you need to be rendering from a camera in that network. You cannot render/view objects from multiple object networks (worlds) at once.

That's a pity! Would bring quite some flexibility for render-HDAs.

In my current case, I want to render an overlay, as COPs seem to malfunction for that case, and the geo is contained in my HDA. I now needed to write a script to create a geo node to import the geo from there, which is really unclean, but it's a way.
