I was checking the nodes in the Pattern menu (Ramps, Stripes, Bricker and so on), will using a Principled Shader. However it looks like all of those patterns do not work with XPU at all. It seems like all those nodes are completely ignored when connected to a shader.
I am kind of new to Houdini, so I am not sure if this "normal", or I am missing something here (?)
Karma XPU not accurately rendering standard shaders

tamteOh, I was not aware of the VEX-based stuff. To be honest I was just hoping that I was doing something wrong or that there was an easy workaround to that issue
XPU doesn't use VEX so it will not work with VEX based patterns or shaders, use MtlX nodes inside of MaterialX Subnet or Karma MaterialX Subnet
I have checked the MaterialX stuff before, but I have only found very few info about that on the web.
Thanks for your reply.
