Skydome with texture probably doesn't work in HtoA (5.0.2.2)

[Anonymous]

5.0.2.2: Skydome with texture probably doesn't work in HtoA. the render process finishes after a few seconds with no result in the render view.

Works fine here, can you post a repro scene?

it works fine with HtoA 2.2.2 if I save the file in previous version of houdini (16.0.671) and open the file in houdini 16.5.323 but it doesn't work if I create a scene in current version. it is strange.

It won't really work. see attachment here. I have a new machine and nevertheless there is same error.

So you have Auto-generate TX Textures enabled.

Enable Auto-tile

Enable Auto-generate TX Textures.

There's no good reason to disable it.

If you really must, then you have to enable Auto tile.
