Houdini custom procedural not rendering. Oct. 14, 2025, 2:30 p.m.
robp_sidefxahhh got it, awesome, thanks Rob! have a good one

Ultimately you need to break down the HDAs you use, and check them for Wrangles that make ch() calls.
In your particular example, it's enough to:
- allow editing of the "pointdeform1" node
- go inside and find the "capture" node
- edit the script around line 179 as follows:float radius = 0.01; // ch("radius");
int maxpt = 100; // chi("maxpt");
int minpt = 1; // chi("minpt");

Thanks for sharing all that data. Ultimately I believe the issue is that there arech()
VEX calls being made, but at render-time the SOP nodes don't exist, so those calls all fail.
You can reproduce this issue locally by saving your graph to disk, renaming the network that contains it (e.g.,/obj/geo1
->/obj/RENAMED_GEO1
) and then try the Preview Procedurals LOP.

Hey everybody moving this question to the forum, I'm trying to create a custom procedural but for some reason the procedural doesn't render (it shows in the viewport with preview procedural)
