Hi.
I figured out my own question!
To get the geometry to not show black in opengl, I added a color sop.
To get it to render, untick the Use Point color tick box in the surface panel of whatever material you use.
Job done.

Hello.
When I import a iges file from rhino the geometry comes into Houdini all black and I cannot get the colour to change. Does anyone know how to fix this. It's got to be something simple that I'm missing.
Thanks

Hello. YES, something strange is going on. I first noticed that when I render, mplay pops up and starts to render then it stops, when I click on the mplay window it continues to render fine, but when I quit mplay or just switch back to houdini, Houdini does not respond and my CPU usage keeps going like it is still rendering.
So I uninstalled Houdini then installed the latest build, now when Houdini starts Safari comes up and loads the Houdini geting started page fine but when I click off it to go back to Houdini nothing happens my CPU usage is being hammered again and I have to force quit Houdini!
Does anyone know what is going on.

thanks
