Karma - Point Color (Cd) not rendering with XPU? Nov. 4, 2021, 10:12 a.m.
I do not know how you approached coloring these but Adam Swaab explains how to make color work with MaterialX materials here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyWseMa1yZk&t=5188s [www.youtube.com]

XPU tests (with sample scene) Nov. 1, 2021, 3:47 a.m.
The Rhino Scene:
Karma CPU was taking too long for me to wait for it. It said the ETA was 2 hours after waiting for 10 minutes.
Karma XPU: 06 minutes 45 seconds
Pyro Scene:
Karma CPU again couldn't wait for it to finish, was stating that it will take 35 minutes.
Karma XPU: 39 seconds

Did anybody do a pyro test with XPU?
In the Houdini 19 HIVE presentation Adam Swaab shows how to render pyro with XPU which is by using the new pyropreview material but I can't make it work.
Any ideas?
You need to convert all Houdini volumes (Density and Scatter at least) to VDBs with Convert VDB node.
Yep that did the trick. Why didn't I think of it before.
Thank you very much!
