Jonathan de Blok - JDBgraphics

I also see great potential here but it's no replacement for /obj. As been noticed by others here doing animations in Solaris is a none starter due to unmanageable recooks and what not. Which in turn forces me to jump through the translate-to-USD hoops to be able to use Karma at all. Which creates other problems on its own.

And while the Karma render itself is great the UX is terrible imho, lack of a proper VFB (visual frame buffer) and everything being tied to volitile viewports makes it hard to use. Render Gallery could use a lot of work! The clones are brilliant but should be more control and all AOVs should transfer from them. Also the elusive missing 'render' button is still a mystery to me

Light mixer also great but a hit crashy at times.

So awesome potential here, it just needs to be unlocked better!

You can control the path where the gallery saves/loads it data from.

This is getting a bit out of hand.. atm I have to reset the viewport every time in dive in/emerge from a node.

The lab's 'reset viewport' helps but no. Is there any info on this, a way to avoid it, workaround or something?
