Great work on Houdini plugin so far!

One question, not sure if this is bug or it works like that, anyway, IPR is very slow, even on scene with simple box it takes almost 20 sec to start or refresh after update. Not even close to how Fire should work. Also it crashes 8/10 times, usually with this message:

Code: Select all

Maxwell_IPR(60263,0x122990000) malloc: *** auto malloc[60263]: error: GC operation on unregistered thread. Thread registered implicitly. Break on auto_zone_thread_registration_error() to debug.
60263: Termination Signal (sent by pid 59587)

Is this slowness SOHO drawback or a bug ?

Hi,

thanks for reporting the issue, it should not work this slow. I have no idea at the moment what's going on, because the OSX implementation is the same as on Windows, but I will take a look and find a solution.

Cheers,
Peter

Just wanted to add that this is happening with Linux plugin too.

Thanks for the addition. I have not found any reason yet why this is happening. After my tests it works quickly on Windows, but slowly on OSX (and on Linux as it seems). I'm going to contact SideFx about this and find a solution. Will keep you updated.

v3.0.0.1 is released to solve the issue. IPR performance now should be similar to Mantra.

Yes I can confirm that it works fine. Thank you very much !
