Hey im back and am curious on how you use the denoiser?

Hi Varomix, I've tried to render a cloud done with the cloud node, but when rendering, it just gives me my grid with pxrSurface, and no cloud visible.
On the other side, when I put my volume shader, and ask Houdini to render the mesh before it's turned into a cloud, it renders the volume of my mesh as expected.

Do you have any idea on how to solve this?

Anyway, thanks for the video, it was really helpful!

I can't seem to get the particles to resize with attribute create am I missing something?

Somehow the renderman it render view isnt responsing. It's rendering the picture but once I try to press r to rerender it won't do anything. even if i click on the buttons. Is that normal? also it's not possible to cancle the rendering process in the render view of houdini with renderman

[bbsoft]

so, for volume rendering, do you prefer RenderMan or redshift? for more details, for example in a mantra, i can tweak for volumes for more details. change noise and etc. but with the redshift i don't have too many prefrences to tweak with

[nathanielharker]

So i followed how you setup the particles but for some reason the pscale isn't working.

I can not figure how to export object as archive, and how to attach that archive to object? In Maya it is quiet easy, but in Houdini I just don't get it.
