Hi
Just wanted to ask if You have any good workflow for displace foam and spray over a displaced geometry. Basically I want to be sure that my foam and whitewater stuff coming from FLIP tanks are correctly floating on the FLIP meshed object, Mesh is also using ocean spectrum and shader for additional detail. How to match it exactly with foam ? any VOPSOP tips ?
If I create custom displacement nodes at the shader level and will plug in there displacement maps baked from ocean shaders it ain't going to work that way ?
greetings

Finally it's rendering my first Mantra simulation
Anyway I have difficulties with writing files to disk and caching . Sometimes Mantra saving it's sometimes not. Dunno why ….

Also another thing…
When I try to cache out those particles nothing is being saved on disk as .bgeo in ROP output driver. It looks like my particles are cached only on the fly without writing proper .bgeo to disk . Nothing is there after caching ;(….
Scene is rendering now without particles ( due to cache file gone) and also it's rendering on the fly without writing to disk …

Big thanks for great instructions SYmek !!
Just starting exploring Houdini and was courious about particles render times in comparison to maya MR and Vray which I use. I will check your scene to find out the settings. Yesterday I tried to render simple geometry without particles and I could only saved sequence to disk one time. The rest of my tries ended up with same error like in that scene UT_NetPacket::read: No such file or directory…
big thanks again

Looks like a path error. Sometimes Houdini forgets it's file paths, never understood why though. Try deleting the file location you set for saving the frames, and then re-apply it.
If I delete the path and re-apply it result is the same. Render hangs at 66% and cannot finish the animation render. On the disk I have only first frame saved ( not always) with proper name and extension but is 0 size on disk.
cheers

Hi
I'm trying to render out image sequence of .exr's in Houdini. At the beginning when the scene was open single frame was possible to render as an ip name to see in mplay. However I cannot write to hard drives my sequence of files. Every time render stops in various % of frames and this message appear in the console : UT_NetPacket::read: No such file or directory.
I've already checked Antivirus and firewall and problem still remains.
What to do to be able to render out sequence ?
