This was a bug on our end. I checked in a fix for it yesterday evening, so it should be fixed in today's daily builds.

Sorry to revive this thread but I'm running into this issue on 19.5.303 and cannot upgrade versions as I'm locked into it due to educational setting. Is there any work around to getting it working?

Continuing from here and using this thread as an addendum for my doubt.

Is that just me or using colliders in general animated or static is much slower on flip SOP than the old DOP setup? Because that is what I am experiencing so far although I love the SOP dynamics nodes and I really wish to have they as my primary setup which I already do with Pyro and RBDs, but for now on H19.5 I am getting some really bad performance issues on this flip SOP compared the the old school DOP setup, it is not on everything like I said I am felling more towards the collision part.
So it is just me?
Any tips?

SOP Create and SOP Import dont work with volumes

Just wanted to clarify here... SOP Create and SOP Import do work with VDB and Houdini native volumes. At least they should. If you have a hip file demonstrating a case where they don't, please post it (either here or send an email to support@sidefx.com).

It's possible that they don't work in the viewport with Arnold, but they should be displaying properly with the Houdini GL and Karma renderers.

Here's a simple example file that uses BGEO files directly as value clips. The trick is that the BGEO files need to have a detail attribute added to them instructing the BGEO USD import plugin to generate attribute values at time samples at a particular time.

This is what Value Clips are for. After writing out your sequence of per-frame USD files, Use a USD Stitch Clips ROP to create a value clip, which you can then reference into your scene.
