pusatThank you for your answers, they helped me get started.
I hope you can shed some light on these issues. I'm not a Houdini expert but my current area of research requires the power of the GPU to show promising results.
One last thing, I'm having trouble getting a scalar field to work. It may just be my inexperience with houdini, but I created a volume node and added it's name as a parameter to the OpenCL wrangle node, but I get this error on the gasopencl solver.
Can you show/explain a simple setup for this? I tried merging the volume with the points, but houdini didn't like that. The field is passed in as a float array. Do I need to pass in the width/height/depth separately? If so, what would the order of the values be?
In the end, I want the node to run a calculation on each point in a set against both a volume and another set of points. In my HDK implmentation, I had 3 inputs, so I was able to do this, but I can't figure out how I would go about this with only 1 input. Merging the points seems like a bad idea because I'd need to figure out which are which and the mismatched attributes worries me.
Hopefully you can help, I understand if what I'm trying to do is complicated.
