It seams houdini indie does not support arnold output drivers, but sidefx says indie  should handle third-party renderers.

FYI, it works  with mantra.


Do you have any idea? please?



Thanks

Hi

The error message is
R 66| StdErr: Error: Output driver not supported in Houdini Indie.


Please see the HtoA docs:
"Please note that Houdini Apprentice and Houdini Indie do not support
third party renderers and thus cannot run HtoA."
https://docs.arnoldrenderer.com/display/AFHUG/HtoA+1.5.0


You should not even be able to render within Houdini (without RR).
If it does not work without RR, then rendering via RR does not work as well.

Hi,
the documentation you found is not up to date, indie now supports third-party renderers,
the version of Htoa i'm using:

What do you think?

Sorry, I thought it is still the same issue.

Have you setup HtoA as explained in our help files?
http://www.royalrender.de/help8/index.html?Houdini.html

If you have, then I need to take a look at the whole log file.
You can upload a complete log file or a job debug file (rrControl menu
Debug/Export debug info) via www.RoyalRender.de/upload_r.php
