I have created a collection of a single tree in karma xpu (plan to use multiple trees later) And I have plugged that collection into an instancer node, The output of instancer node is not showing textures, whereas collection node is properly showing textures. What's the best way to go about showing textures with instancer node? All the materials are assigned properly yet the textures are not showing.
When I tick, 'use entire stage' in instancer, it shows the textures in houdini gl preview but not in karma xpu render strangely.

Please help.

How is the shading done?
Is it using MaterialX? or USDPreviewSurface?
XPU will only support either of those.

I think the instancer automatically switches the view mode to "proxy". On the viewport sidebar, there's the glasses icon, make sure "render" is checked, not "proxy". Maybe this is it?

Can you post an example scene demonstrating the issue?
