Karma as external hydra delegate Nov. 7, 2021, 1:45 p.m.

Thank you so so so much, I know it's an involved process, enev building 3Delight has been full of hurdles and this was suposed to be straightforward, but at least I can give it a shot now!

thank you, yeah I see H19 can do integrations, and the pricing for karma is not bad at all, I would like to know if there is a cmake or some files I can use to build the delegate and use it as a third party render or which would be the way to test this out.

On the karma page it states:
"Since Karma works both inside Houdini and as a Hydra delegate in other USD-based applications, SideFX is planning to bundle licenses with Houdini Core and FX for FREE and charging for extra licenses. "

What is not clear to me at this time is if this is something sidefx is going to compile, or can we test it ourselves?
If Karma works as a third party renderer, even if it is for look dev, this would definitely would be something to consider, but I can't find any information that describes this process.

Thank ypu so much, I didn't know there was a usdview shipping with houdini, I would really like to develop a pipeline where the asset lookdev could be made in another software and then rendered with Solaris, getting team members up to speed with houdini, even if it's just for Solaris can be costly, If I could run Karma on the AMD hydra delegate plugin for Blender it would let us save on our asset pipeline and invest that money in a couple of artists\ lics for Houdini to be the hub where we update the manifest.

Is there a place where I can find some guidance o how to build the delegate or how I can take this delegate?
