I'm having trouble loading a 16K texture into a heightfield file sop.

Digging down into the network, the error is clear "Image Resolution too large. See Settings->Main Preferences->Compositing to change the limit."

Problem is... when I go to edit - preferences ... I don't see a compositing tab.

In H21, I changed this by going:
Edit->Preferences->Old Compositor->Cooking->Resolution Limit

In H22, that path is also gone. There is Edit->Old Compositor Settings, but that doesn't have resolution limit settings either?

Thanks in advance for the help!

UPDATE - half solved it? - I've realized I can set this as an env variable.

HOUDINI_COP_MAXRES = 16384


BUT, now instead of an error I get a crash. Would appreciate any insight as I've tested this exact scenario in H21 and it works fine

This is for old cops, correct?

You can switch to the Old UI temporarily in Edit Preferences::UI::Old UI. Restart and then you'll have the old preference menu, which contains the Old COP preferences. You can set them there.

That said, the HOUDINI_COP_MAXRES should also have that effect.

We haven't knowingly changed anything in old cops for 22, so it is disappointing to hear that it is now crashing with that set :<

Please submit a bug with a the reproducible setup and we can see what oversight occurred.

Thanks Jeff, appreciate the reply. I was actually trying this in new COPs

I submitted a bug report a few weeks back, and will try your switching to old UI suggestion. Cheers

Does new COPs have a max resolution setting? I thought it handled it by gracefully crashing when the image buffer was too large.

There isn't an explicit resolution setting, no.

There is an internal cap at a billion pixels, however. If images are larger than that they'll de-res on you. And maybe crash, but that will be a bug.
