Thank you for the clarification, malexander.
After doing some tests with Karma XPU, I decided to switch from Redshift to Karma XPU to take advantage of all the cool new features of MaterialX. I hesitated switching but now I have the feeling that MaterialX has all the features that I need. This should future-proof my projects, too.
Thanks!

Is there a way to display colors and textures of a Redshift material in the Houdini viewport using the new Vulkan renderer?
This used to be possible with the deprecated OpenGL viewport (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8v0iObThds)
It seems, this is no longer possible with Vulkan.

In the Houdini documentation it sais that "Custom GLSL shaders aren’t supported for Vulkan. Instead, use MaterialX."

Am I stuck using the deprecated OpenGL if i want to display Redshift textures in the viewport?
ChatGPT mentioned that I need to switch to using MaterialX but is there a way to render those materials with Redshift?

Thanks for the help,
Nico

What I have done, is to generate a goal point per-agent. You need a walk state and an idle state. While the agents are walking, the Use VEXpression code set the goal for each agent, causing them to approach a point in the logo or design. A crowd trigger measures the distance between the goal and the agent. After a threshold is crossed, the state is switched to idle, indicating arrival at goal.

This is an older scene, but it might get you going.

Wow, thanks so much. This is a huge help and I think I can use this for my project.
