Dear All:

I was trying out the new ocean FX preset “ ocean wave” in Houdini 13 but can't see the displacement map via my mantra render or ipr preview. I can only see the wave displacement via my view port and keep getting :

mantra: unable to load the texture 0001.pic.

Can anyone help me out?

I am using non-commercial education version.

Thanks you

I hit this too - everyone hits this bug, don't feel too bad.

Not sure if it's exactly the same issue but check out:

…and you might need to change them to picnc's or piclc's depending on your software version.

“everyone hits this bug”

…perhaps then it should be at the TOP of the tool help instead of buried in the middle? (Heck, maybe even a pop up to say this is necessary when you click on the “Ocean Waves” in the first place?)

Also, why are there no “example” files in the help for any of the ocean tools?

I have to show this to every one of my students too. It's certainly not intuitive, although it makes a lot of sense.
