lights texture path "op:" not working anymore

[david.anastacio]

Hi,

Was the behavior of the texture paths changed? I was looking why some lights stopped working and I noticed that were we used to have to use "op: path_to_texture", those textures were not working anymore, instead it now works without "op:". Was this intended?

Best,

Nothing have changed in that regard, we use standard Houdini SDK methods to resolve paths.

Hi david.anastacio , I can't reproduce the problem with "op:", could you send me a scene with it, it can contain only one light with the expression you are using. Upload it here ,or send it to georgy.chakarov@chaosgroup.com. Thanks!

Yeah this is very strange indeed.
So we had here a bunch of shots/assest with the "op:/" path in lights that suddenly were not working. But I was testing in a clean scene and it seems to be working, I'm trying to figure out what is wrong on the production scenes now...
Thanks for checking on your side too bdancer and chakarov, I'll let you know.

Best,
David.

Ok, I think the chage was actually in Houdini, maybe when we changed from 18.0.287 to 18.0.397. The texture paths didn't work without the "op:" before the path to node, but now you don't need to use it anymore.
Also the lights that stopped working were a path issue, a "/" was added were it should,t, sorry about that,

Best,
David.
