#379084
Hi,

I have lit a scene in Houdini and set my ROP to output my mxi and images to the same location. My mxs files are being pointed to a different location though.

So I am exporting my mxs files and rendering them with the maxwell command line, but my images get rendered to the same location where my mxs live. Looks like my output image parameter in my ROP gets ignored.

Is this a bug or am I forgetting something?

This is my command line:
maxwell -frames:18,18 -v:5 -threads:8 -scene:/prod/projects/mcdonalds_lcm_bundles_mar14_20140/shots/s010/mxs/s010_coints_v01_t01/s010_coins_v01_t01_rg.0001.mxs -node

The other thing I noticed also was that none of my textures weren't loaded. When I test my scene rendering from Houdini, it renders properly with all textures, but it doesn't work using maxwell command line. My render log doesn't show any error for missing textures though. Please see the log below

Also:
Is there a command line from houdini to render the maxwell render, like maya has with the line "render -r maxwell"? Or do I need to use the maxwell standalone to render my scenes like I am doing it now?

Thank you very much for your attention

Hi Rodrigo,

The path of the output image is set by the -o parameter in the command line. The plugin sets this as well during the render, so the image path is not stored in the mxs scene.

I don't think there's any special settings for the textures, if they are set with absolute path, they should be loaded. Will check this just to be sure.

There's a hscript command to start the render in Houdini:

maxwell_render [maxwell_rop_path] [time] default

The first parameter is the path of the Maxwell Render ROP node in the scene, the second parameter is the time when the render happens, the third parameter is the render mode, which is 'default' for a normal render ('viewport' is an other mode for example). This command will export the scene and run Maxwell Render from the command line, just like you would press the Render button.

Hope this helps,
Peter
Will there be a Maxwell Render 6 ?

Let's be realistic. What's left of NL is only milk[…]
