Hi, is there a way to bypass a node at render time only?

Thanks.

have a look at Takes > http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/basics/takes [www.sidefx.com]

Cheers, i did already. A friend already pointed that way. Was just hoping there was a more local solution in the geo network. Some animation is locked in my scene but involving quite some boolean operations, i threw a timeshift right below that bit to prevent it from playing back in the viewport, and just wanted to bypass that one at render time. But i guess there is no option for that, beside creating a take for it.

Thanks.

you could try using a switch SOP with an expression to turn the switch from live to static…

and there are also pre-render and pre-frame scripts on ROP nodes

Thank you. Will give that a try as well.
