Dear SideFx team,

I love everything about Houdini, and I have a feature request that I believe could greatly benefit the community. While I understand that this might not be a small task in terms of development, I wanted to share my idea nonetheless.

As displayed in the picture, it would be fantastic if we could have the ability to switch between basic ray tracing and advanced path tracing renderings directly in the default viewport, without needing to open Solaris and configure ROP. Additionally, having the option to right-click each icon to configure its settings based on individual PC specs would be highly beneficial. Making these settings part of the Save Current Desktop feature would ensure that Houdini always renders using the saved configurations.

I welcome anyone to share their thoughts on this idea.

Cheers,

bump

Sidefx is working on Karma RT already, maybe that will address what you suggested to some extent.
