Hi.

If I am using Karma and have assigned a few EXR's in the principled shader, but have also pre-converted the EXR's to RAT will Houdini automatically find the RAT files saving conversion time when rendering?

I have found an old thread about this but not sure of the outcome..

I will automatically find them if the path to the texture is to the rat files.

If the parameters in the principled shader refer to the EXR files, then Karma will load the EXR files. If you want them to load RAT files, you'll have to change the parameter in the principled shader.

Yeah, a bit of logic like in Arnold would go a long way. Especially during LookDev.
