Karma XPU and MaterialX | Adam Swaab | Houdini 19 HIVE

My 1070: challenge accepted

none of this is relevent now in houdini 19, houdini is going down a dangerous path where nobodyu knows how to use this shit

I don't get why they rename Cd to displayColor and uv to sr or something. Why not keep a naming convention?

I did some testing and Karma XPU is faster than Arnold XPU - This may be due to unimplemented features or it may not, we will see but I like where its at.

Hi can you please tell me where you have the water fx tutorial you made in the video. I am also thinking for the same effects but I can't create it can you please explain me in details?

There is an aspect to Karma that for some reason really reminds me of Arnold in terms of quality, utilization and how things are done.

Would be great to have a series like this just on MaterialX

Excellent tutorial - learnt so much. Thanks Adam.

I love how fast this is. Very good.

Hi!
I can't render volume in Karma XPU. It will render with Karma CPU but when I switch to XPU the volume will be invisible. How can I fix it? Can anyone help me?

How on earth can I get my hands on that effect with the whirling fluid around the spheres and boxes? Or a tutorial pretty please with a cherry on top

Can anyone direct me to how I should go about to getting to the stage of utilizing Karma? After you sim, what the process is to get it into the stage and add materials...

I've gotten the new volume material to render with karma cpu but xpu has never worked for me?!

wtf. Karma XPU is nasty fast

KARMA needs Nvidias Optic X denoiser and it would absolutely be amazing! GO KARMA! soon I will have money to BUY a Houdini Licence for myself; SideFX team really need to expand there render engines even more now like maybe applying some new algorithms that speeds up render times on all GPU/CPU based renders that would blow the competition out the water no doubt.

yuhuuu! GPUs prepare your heatsinks!!

Hello Adam, could you possibly explain how to get AOVs using Karma XPU? We've been trying to figure it out but haven't had much luck. The Houdini 19 documentation says it has a special process involving Mtlx Dot nodes but it's not clear how to set that up. Any help or tutorials we could be pointed to for this would be helpful, thx.

Outraged, why is it not shown how to put pyroGroundExplosion in stag? So that Karma XPU would see it. How it's done. My Karma XPU doesn't work with pyro! Why isn't this shown in the video? How does pyroGroundExplosion get into SOP Create? at 22 minutes

Where can I find more of Adam Swaab learning content? I love how he explains.

Looks very promissing.

Is it built in Houdini 19?

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and knowledge with us using Karma X and MaterialX!
