Could be, though this did come up with an exit code etc when rendering to disk, it would pop up on the Mantra rop. I don't see this usually if i'm rendering a single frame to ipr though it may occasionally bug out and just stop rendering part the way through, definitely random though, and doesn't happen on other scenes (I rendered out another sequence I worked on earlier no dramas…

Hey all,

I'm on Houdini Apprentice, I'm noticing in a simple scene that I made (imported geo, basic materials and lights) that when I'm rendering out, either to preview the ipr in the Render View or to disk, the mantra process will randomly stop, if rendering to disk there'll be a stop code -10373741819 on the mantra rop. Sometimes it gets maybe 3-4 frames into a sequence or maybe even less, it doesn't seem to be having issues with any specific frame. As mentioned as well this occurs even when doing preview renders to the Render View, it will just abruptly stop rendering part-way through with no error or warning at all.

All the dependencies are in the $HIP path in caches or in subfolders for the textures, did the good old reboot etc. Short of wiping and reinstalling Houdini or trying to come up with some jank solution to automatically restart the mantra renderer are there any other suggestions or ideas on what might be causing this? I'm currently having a look at my materials though none are showing warnings or errors of such…

Cheers!

EDIT:
Should mention I'm on Windows 10 X64, Houdini 17.0.352
