Hello everyone,
I believe I have figured out what the issue is for this based on the test scene that bazuka provided. When we are performing pathmapping on the houdini scene files we are currently calling hou.fileReferences which appears to be causing every DOP (and maybe other node types) to repeatedly cook out their results.
I have suppressed this cooking in the attached script, if any of you would be able to test it with your scenes and confirm if it fixes it for you that would be much appreciated. If it fails to fix it, then any reproduction scenes that could be used to deduce what else is failing would also be appreciated.
In order to test this fix please make a backup of /plugins/HoudiniBatch then replace the exisiting hrender_dl.py (34.3 KB) with the attached version.
Thanks,
Grant Bartel
