H20 - Bubble Wrap Scene - 30min render and looks like crap Nov. 16, 2023, 2:27 p.m.

Does XPU use RT cores?

How to convert extracted instances back to point instances Nov. 16, 2023, 1:33 p.m.

Hi, I'm trying to wrap my head around LOPs.
I've used the 'layout' node with the 'point instancer' method to place my assets.
Later, I extracted specific point instances with the "Extract Instances" node.
My goal was to modify these instances using physics, since point instances don't work with physics...
Now I'm looking for a way to convert these edited instances back to point instances.
I'm an idiot, please help me.

Material Variation node takes forever to cook June 18, 2023, 2:33 p.m.

I have a simple scene in which I've scattered 350k pig and rubber toy instances using the point instancer. Everything functions as anticipated and cooks quickly, except for the material variation node. It significantly slows down the process, taking approximately 20-25 minutes to cook. 50k takes seconds, after 60-65k it slow downs exponentially. Task manager shows that Houdini is utilizing only one CPU core, running at 100%. Could this be due to Python usage, as it seems to be single threaded?
