Hi all,
I have been working with the new ocean tool of Houdini 16, They are amazing!
OceanWaves nood gives a lot of control to hero waves.
Unfortunately I have been facing problems on the render time. please see the viewport and what come out on the render.
Any idea what could be going wrong?
Thanks
Ocean Waves doesn't render properly

Camera clipping was the fist thing that I thought. but didn't help 
.
Displacement bounds the only one that I know is on the SHOP and it is link to the amplitude scale.
I'm uploaded 2 other image that may give some clue.
I just realize that I'm gating this warning on the marge node of the spectrum and ocean wave. this is happening even when I create all again from scratch.

That looks like an issue with insufficient displacement bounds. The link from the SHOP's Displacement Bound parameter to the spectrum's amplitude will typically work for a single spectrum ocean, but once you start adding in multiple layers and especially large instanced “hero” waves, it's probably wrong, and unfortunately it's difficult to have a simple expression that estimates the largest displacement once multiple layers, instancing, and masks are involved.
I would delete the displacement bound expression and test increasingly large numbers until you get rid of the artifacts.
