Hi,

I've spent a couple of hours on this and I can't get the Render View pane to show anything other than the black background colour.

I've created basic scene with a mantra node and selected it in the Output Driver drop down.

Could someone give simple steps to achieve this.

I'll attach my scene for what it's worth…

Thanks!

Hi ,
Your scene renders fine via the render view without me doing anything.
Rendering from the output ROP via the render button or launching the output driver from the viewport RMB menu.

Thanks,

Yes, I can render via those controls as well, but I'm referring to the Render View pane which is available as a Pane Tab. You can add it by clicking on the plus sign if it's not there by default.

I gather it's meant to render automatically as you move objects and lights around in a Scene View or wherever. All I get is blackness…

This is a nice feature in XSI. Does anyone use this in Houdini?

Ahh the one method that currently has a bug I have never needed the feature to be honest.

Hmm, well I'll log it as a bug though by the sounds of it it should be a known issue, and I haven't seen any issue log as yet…
