Hi Lucas,

I'm having a bit of a memory leak problem with a Python/inlinecpp SOP which might be related to that last bit of information you provided about automatically created frozen geometry (I'm glad I looked here first).

My phython SOP code is roughly this:

geo = hou.pwd().geometry()
partfile = hou.evalParm(“partfile”)
loadmodule.LoadPartFile(geo, partfile)

where LoadPartFile is an inlinecpp code that loads binary data and generates points (tons of it). This code starts accumulating memory when I do a flip book and never frees it. However if I change the code to:

partfile = hou.evalParm(“partfile”)
loadmodule.LoadPartFile(hou.pwd().geometry(), partfile)

Everything is fine. Note that this one leaks as well even though I don't use geo at all:

geo = hou.pwd().geometry()
partfile = hou.evalParm(“partfile”)
loadmodule.LoadPartFile(hou.pwd().geometry(), partfile)

Could this be related to automatically freezing and not properly freeing this frozen geometry?

Thanks,

Hi,

I want to process some geometry based on ptex displacements in a SOP plugin. Is there a way to access ptex in HDK?

Thanks.
