I know we cannot use Arnold for rendering directly inside of Houdini Indie (boo…) but are we able to use the Arnold plugin to export .ASS files? I swear I was able to do this in the past but I can't now since it uses a ROP to export the files so Indie throws the error saying it's not supported. I guess I should get around to actually learning Mantra…

Well, nevermind!

Were you ever able to do this?

I think third party rendering is supported in Indie now. I don't think scene file export is supported as that is part of the license restrictions of Indie.
