Lookdev workflow for feature film Nov. 21, 2025, 10:18 a.m.

while I personally havent used it, COPs since 21 support UDIMs to certain extend

if you already tried it and hitting issues, you may want to be more specific

Assign iteration in a loop as attribute Nov. 20, 2025, 5:15 p.m.

your path in
i@face = detail("../foreach_begin", "iteration", 0) + 1;
is invalid to begin with, since the node holding the iteration metadata is called foreach_begin1
but even if it was valid, detail() VEX function expects geometry, so either input number, file path or op: string pointing to sop node
since you want to directly point to sop node you need to specify it as
i@face = detail("op:../foreach_begin1", "iteration", 0) + 1;

but it may be just easier to connect foreach_begin1 to 2nd input of wrangle and do:
i@face = detail(1, "iteration", 0) + 1;

How to Optimize Simulation Performance Inside an HDA? Nov. 19, 2025, 3:42 p.m.

use Performance Monitor to see where the potential slowdown comes from

since ideally there should be no inherent slowdown when simulation runs inside of HDA or not, and many SOP level solvers are HDAs to begin with

so any slowdown is likely coming from how the HDA is build and what more is being cooked during sim compared to the sim outside, etc..
