Network Rendering

[tronotrond]

Does your model contain any hairs (V-Ray will treat open poly lines and curves as hair), or particles (well, stray points not part of a primitive) ? If so, give them a pscale attribute before exporting the Alembic - the default used by V-Ray when rendering from the alembic file is quite large.

If that doesn't help, I'd love to take a look at this alembic, if possible.

And yup, as bdancer mentioned above, it would be best to use the Alembic SOP. The Proxy Import SOP brings in a ProxyRef type of primitive which you can't use as easily inside of Houdini as the alembic.

Thanks, yeah, that was it. The PolyDoctor SOP left some curves in there. Alright.. got some nice and optimized vrscenes now.
