Arnold limitations as render engine for Houdini FX Feb. 26, 2018, 9:25 a.m.

My understanding was Indie doesn’t allow full scene conversion to proxy formats, but does support asset conversions. It’s widely used over in the Redshift world.

Speaking of, RS does handle packed primitives. It doesn’t directly support their usage for rendering (mostly for viewport support), but you can slice it up into proxies for quick rendering once you have things the way you want. Does Arnold not have a similar workflow? I’m still a bit new to Houdini (coming from Maya), so are packed ABC/bgeo different from packed primitives?

Houdini apprentice license error Feb. 25, 2018, 8:22 p.m.

This is due to the maintenance that SideFX is undergoing this weekend. I'm in the same boat, but this should be resolved by Monday.
