For anybody interested had a look at work with a version 12.0.1 and it worked fine with exactly the same settings so reported this to sidefx!
I was using Houdini apprentice 12.5.46 and it wasn't changing in the render view whether preview was checked or not but I just installed 12.0.1 on my laptop at work and it works absolutely fine:
So this is now producing the blur and shadow softness from the depth map parameters

This is the default:

Where as before in 12.5.46 I wasn't getting the changes from the blur/softness being adjusted.

Hi All,
Getting a different output when I use the render view and mplay, have clicked render on both and I believe the mplay output to be accurate as i've added shadow blur and softness but that is not appearing whatsoever on the render view render. I read in the forums a lot say that having preview on makes it go to raytrace but i've not had preview on whatsoever so i'm out of ideas.

Hi guys,
Probably doing something wrong but on the 3rd lesson I'm trying to get the rock geometry to instance on a path after I rendered out the different frames of rocks and I've copied the expression exactly the same as the tutorial but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.
geo/rock_`padzero(3,stamp(“../copy1”,rockNum,1))`.bgeo
is the expression and I noticed on the video a comment about it also so wondering if there is a problem in Houdini 12.5 with this?
Edit here is the video:
http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2166&Itemid=361 [sidefx.com]
around the 9-14 minute mark the whole process
Sorry i'm relatively new to houdini so probably a stupid thing but always good to get to the bottom of it.
Thanks,
Jon
