Houdini Lounge » Materialx node need not compile at runtime?

MaterialX is in XML why it is faster i don't know.
What could be is that USD and MaterialX are newer concepts how to handle data and the vex compile was just a speedup of a older data construction (ifd or cross compile in USD).

I was wondering for ages about the mountain sop. I thought, why the heck was it called like that? Why not simply "normaldisplace" or whatever :-D It seemed way too specific.
Mountain sop is one of the oldest sop node's, we talking here +20 years of age. I don't even know if it was also in prism avaibale that would make it even more older. That was a node for creating mountains in that time ;-)
But over all a nice update what SESI have done.

if you want to get all nodes and parms there is a script in houdini, you just need a diff viewer.

Houdini Lounge » Monthly Pricing?

sorry, but not everyone has the annual amount of money to pay at once even when it's more convenient in the long term, and also to see after one year that you need to have that same bigger amount of money ready if you want to renew your subscription, that's inconvenient for many users.
if I remember correctly there was a monthly subscription price for indie not long ago and I actually came here with the idea of subscribing to it just to find out there is no option to do that anymore, thanks sidefx, you just lost a customer here, bye
If you are a houdini artist you will earn the money in no time. As Andr has said the apprentice version is ideal to learn and build your CG skills.
You always can use blender!

a port isn't easy but when it will be happen then i am sure we can see the requirements on the https://vfxplatform.com/ [vfxplatform.com]
sidefx can't do these task alone there is so many code that is not native.
i am sure there will be sooner or later a statement coming from SESI maybe when H19 is out or H19.5 we just need to wait.

Don't invest time in mantra if you need to it is EOL. Solaris/karma is the way to go and you will get update and speed improvments.

Houdini Lounge » Which studio has the best pipeline (links if possible)?

pipeline is a tricky thing that is mostly a inhouse production process that is in the detail mostly not public. except blender foundation projects where you can get story's and project files.
there are some youtube videos or snippets for how the concept is or how the build it.
we also can say thanks to some openness we are getting more and more tooling to build a custom pipeline today with less man power.

Onshap as a example uses a streaming function it is not fully wasm.
To use hydra could be a option but it will be just the viewport.

More robust Karma and GPU Karma – awesome….but why not make it available in the OBJ context like Mantra? I don't get why it's restricted to the Solaris context?
Karma is optimized to use USD as the scene file format. So it needs USD to work, with all the attributes and co.
They surly could do a converter but it will take time. But i guess solaris will be the new starting point for all projects when karma is production ready.
