Hi, i have a problem with instances, when i use the render view it gives me a metadata error and i dont know what to do, im using houdini 18.0.348
00:00:00 3541MB WARNING | [void __cdecl htoa::arnold::Node::pullParameter] parameter not found: use_procedural_cache (ar_use_procedural_cache)
cannot read metadata "file_delayed_load" of unregistered type "__delayedload"
hard to say, what format is your render procedural: ass file, obj, alembic?
Does this happen with all scenes? And is it just the Render View, or do all renders have the same errors?
Can you post the full Arnold log?
Exactly the same issue from H17 to H18!!!!Tries many ways to solve but without result.
The problem is with the ass file
Here is the same ass file rendered in maya without pb, but not in Houdini!
The solution I found is re save again the ass file in houdini,

maybe arnold's openVDB version is too low.

I have the same problem with my render. did you find any solution ? All worked just not the frame 30 to 41 (white or cropped) for me with the same error "cannont read metadata".
This is an OpenVDB warning (not an errro) and the message is logged by OpenVDB
cannot read metadata "file_delayed_load" of unregistered type "__delayedload"
Ok thank you and there is any solution to fix that ? Because when I render, some of frame are white or incomplete. I rendered with Mantra and all worked. Thanks
Arnold does use delayed loading, it just doesn't know about the metadata.
That's unlikely to cause render problems
What else is in a Detailed Arnold log?
thats warning, proberly openVDB3 vesion mismatch... i have same warning in maya and gaffer but arnold renders it correctly.
Just that like 10 Times. 😕
I don’t know why some frame is perfectly working and aime not.
sounds like an Houdini issues, check your bounding boxesd on this frame, maybe there are nan's or incredible bounding box sizes (like 5 billion unit etc..)
