Hello, all. I'm having an issue with mantra, and maybe someone can adress it. I'm trying to render smoke inside a glass sphere, which is just a mantra surface with refraction enabled and some reflections. The smoke was done with a billowy smoke sim, and, when I assign a billowy smoke shader, everything seems fine, and mantra renders all elements correctly. The problem is that I would like to use a fireball shader, but once I asign it to my smoke, it doesn't render inside the glass. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm kind of new to houdini so it would be of real help if someone could answer this.

Thanks, in advance, and sorry for any bad english

Cheers.

Hello, everyone. I've only been learning houdini this last few weeks, so I'm kind of new, and I have a simple question. How do I clear cache after reseting a simulation? Everytime I preview one, Houdini eats up a fair amount of RAM. But, whenever I reset that simulation, memory usage doesn't go down, and if I re do it, more amount of RAM is filled. It hasn't hit the limit so far, but it's a little bit annoying having houdini using 10gb of memory without any sense.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my crappy english, if so.

Sometimes panels get ‘pinned’ (see the screenshot), so they don't update to the current node. Or maybe you're looking at the wrong class of attribute in the spreadsheet? I assume you're in a Point VOP?

If you're able to share a hip file, that's always helpful.

That was it, thanks so much for the quick answer!
