You only have 40 real cores.
Theoretically you support 80 threads with Hyper-Threading which only yields 5 to 15% improvement in speed for all the extra threading.
But with 40 cores you will have so much overhead that I don't think it would be worth the hyper threading…

When I load the 15.5 online documentation the search dialogue is not visible on Chrome or Firefox on my Nexus phone.
Same with our studio Ilsa workstation broswer. However if I do a search function for the word “search” in the Isla browser it will pop up at the top…

answer:
“The docs are simply out of date. We will make sure to fix them
We have a Hair Shader in the Material Palette. This is also used by the Fur object.
Then there are the skin & guide shader in the Fur object, which are used internally to apply all the guide and hair parameters which are found on the Fur object.”

Is there a way to use the Visiblity SOP with the Curvegroom SOP to work with only a few curves at a time without having to drop another Curvegroom SOP?
I was hoping that it was possible to do that in Houdini as it is mess if grooming happens with all guide curves in play and even a bigger mess if there is a SOP being created all the time as a groom is being tweaked.

I have been going through the documentation for H15 fur and it keeps mentioning a “Fur Style Shader”.
I can not seem to find this shader. Any tips on how to evoke it?

Yeh stability for the display could be improved. Sounds like 10.11.2 is the way to go.

Noticed the OSX 10.11.2 update was released.
Is it generally recommended to update OSX to El Capitan now to run Houdini 15 on a mac?

My Nvidia 9800m GTS with 512MB's does support OpenGL 3.3. Hopefully it is enough to tinker with things at home.

Sweet I'll see if I can try it out tonight!
Is it ok to leave the compositor on or is it recommended to turn it off? Currently I have the compositor using OpengGL 3.1 in GLX mode.

I am hoping to install Houdini 15 apprentice on my laptop running Kubuntu 15.10.
Has anyone had any issues running it on the Wily Werewolf or using it with KDE Plasma 5.4.2?

I am using a the trailsop to accumulate over time a piece of animated geo and converting it to vdb surface to attain its volume it has occupied in the shot.
Though I was wondering if there is a way to convert the poly object to vdb first, then accumulate the volume directly?

Is there an already built in attribute/function for Fur Clumping Density or does one have to roll that themselves?
