Rendering..

Desired workflow:

1) Render using a fixed camera, lopnet and/or frame. All without dependancies on the presence of a viewports with lopnet and what not.

2) Render gallery not being tied to a single lopnet. (I know, internal database thing, but still).

3)/obj rendering in Karma technically works but everything hurts.



1 can be done using a render clone, would be nice if that could be done locally as well.


2 is not that critical but ran into this limitation a few times when having separate lopnets, or have lopnets that import other lopnets etc.

3 To fix this properly I guess things need some mayor refactoring, like /obj level nodes smartly injecting USD directly into the stage without 10 seconds recooks when changing a material color.

Did a quick prototype of this and it's lightning fast ;

And there is also lots of really great stuff in there, but these are my painpoints that make me drop down that redshift node once again

Thx!

FYI: https://jdbgraphics.nl/script/prosequencer-2-0-houdini/ [jdbgraphics.nl]

Its a general sequencer I wrote for Houdini, It's not specifically geared towards Solaris but it's easy to reference the in/out points of tracks and use them in Solaris.

It will help in editing and managing shots.

node is a method so you need to call it: node()

in the button callback entry it would be:

hou.pwd().setDisplayFlag(True)


The hou.pwd() is short for hou.node(".")
