Better than checking a box?
Yes. It is a super global and I need more control. For example, I need AO only between objects and a ground and not AO of self produced ground.

That sounds like you need to write a custom shader.
WOW, still an issue

This is in the changelog.

20.5.305
XPU: adds support for AO AOV

Problem loading and displaying <UDIM> textures in Karma July 8, 2025, 12:23 a.m.

It works as expected in Karma CPU? If yes, probably best to contact support.

XPU: free up VRAM without restarting Houdini? July 8, 2025, 12:14 a.m.

You can restart Karma XPU in the same menu as you see all the renders.

1. Start Karma XPU
2. Switch to OpenGL/Vulkan.
3. Now you should get Restart Karma XPU in the middle of the dropdown menu you see all the different renders.

I'm only on my phone atm, not 100% sure if it's restart Karma XPU. But it's something close.
