Good day

I'm making big (6000x3000) and really heavy polar renderings on Houdini indie. One frame takes several days on my laptop, so I'd like to spread the calculation to multiple computers.

For some reason the hqueue rendering cuts my rendering size to 1920x1080 (or, in my case 1920x960). On Mplay or any of the other rendering options I can get the full 6000x3000.

This sounds like a bug to me. Could someone fix it?

Sounds like Houdini Indie is treating it as a sequence therefore kicks in the resolution limitation.

Thank you.

Yeah, that's probably it. But the same setup works, if I send it to cloud computing.

Could you think of something that I could change in the settings to make a difference?

Thank you, that's worth a shot.

Seems to require a bit of studying, though, so it will take a while to know whether that works.
