Hi Everyone!
I'm working on implementing PyTorch inside of Houdini much like this demo:
https://www.sidefx.com/tutorials/machine-learning-data-preparation/ [www.sidefx.com]
It seems that the demo is using PyTorch directly inside of PDG. Has anyone else tried this successfully? PyTorch is only supported on Python 3, so I have to use the Python 3 build of Houdini which so far has been too unstable to work with effectively. Apart from constant crashes, I've run into multiple more specific issues. For one, my PyTorch training script freezes when run in a PDG python script node but runs fine from the Python source editor or python sop node. I figured a work around could be to run the code in a python sop packaged in an hda, and run this through an hda processor, but the Python 3 version of Houdini crashes when trying to create an HDA…
If anyone has had any luck doing this I would love to talk!
Thanks,
Ryan
