I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused by your reply. It looks to me like you think that I started the thread, which I didn't. I read damonmaster's original question, and the code snippet he then posted above (that is where my a = rand(a+seed*123.6) comes from, more or less). And then I posted a possible answer. My question was addressed to damonmaster to check if it was what he was looking for/something he could use. Sorry again, but I must have overlooked Andr's answer, which is really similar, before I added my own.

Cheers,
Dag

My situation is that each time the value of @a is the result obtained from the last loop, how can I copy the result of the loop to other points in the same wrangle? I know this would be very simple just using two wrangle nodes!

int success = 0;
f@value = pointattrib(0,"a",0,success);
i@success = success;

Looks cool. Not sure about this link but maybe you find something useful here [ciesie.com].

(and don't ask me why in the year 2023 the developers still don't develop in advance for all devices, because hip (amd library) exists for along time now .)

Apart from Cycles I have not seen a renderer is doing well in both CPU and GPU. Maybe Karma can go into similar places. Did I get it right that Karma can dynamically switch to CPU if GPU runs out of Ram?

Do you mean that vulkan viewport won't be in Houdini 20? Or that is assumption

In other H20 rumours thred somone found that SideFX could be thinking of refreshing 2D nodes (i havnt even touched them yet so i could be completly wrong) i dont even remember how those nodes were called but i mean one that can do compositing like Nuke or AfterFX.

Do you guys think that some alpha or beta of those could be in H20? And how you imagine or wish it will look like and what feautures itll have?

personally i hope that it will push for some UI/UX changes. by this i mean UI more similar to cascadour. therefor working with animation or camera seqencer could be easier too. (a bit like AfterFX keys field right below 3D view with lots of options on organizing, filering, labeling keys. Great for animators as well)

another one is that i could import reference footage of lates say face. quicly edit it, retime, cut etc. then use AI similar to Nukes CopyCat and translate 2D animation into 3D model of face (2D drives 3D using AI ML) so.. any correction from client i will do in 2D part (like lipsync) will be automaticly translate into 3D model.

so i hope that any tools for manipulating video will come as one of the first. this include all 2D warps, morphs, streches, time manipulation, key inerpolation for generating inbetweans. Also 2D/3D tracking so i could connect lates say corner of mounth to courner of mounth in 3D object.

Also all 2D AI models like Meta's (Facebook) segmentation, facial landmarks and all others

But i could understand it all wrong so this could be not that what i thought (Somethink like Nukes and AfterFX in Houdini) That would be cool anyway

the answer is yes. and complex simulations too afterwards

thanks for the answer , but i dont want to go that deep and wont go for vex , will that be enough for a career opportunity ?

Okay, this is bugging me, the only reference to NanoVDB in the manual is about the real time Pyro stuff, nothing on NanoVDB in the manual for Karma XPU beta, could you share a link to where you read that Karma XPU uses NanoVDB? Thanks!

In the houdini H19.5 presentation it was noted that H20 will get a Vulkan viewport. That would also mean a vulkan realtime rendering would be possible.

Oh damn...something comparable to Blender`s Eevee would be effin awesome!! For people like me who also do 3D mograph this could mean we won`t need "regular" rendering for certain instances!
