I find that the RTX 4070 TI Super is the best buy for your money, for more VRAM you'd need a RTX 4090, which are double the price!

It’s Moen, not SideFX. I love his tutorials. The way he explains everything is exactly how SideFX documentation should be written. Starting with basics and foundational knowledge.

SideFX should just release those interesting Copernicus setups they demoed at HIVE. That would be more helpful than any tutorial.

There are a few in content library, but many are missing.

I'd like to say nice update but copernicus froze 5 times already and in a scene with a lot of fog neither vulkan nor opengl shows anything but solid colors. I guess it'll be alright in a few iterations. Also, no serious color correct nodes? Really ?

Yeah.no color correct nodes,that's a surprise.

What graphics card?

RTX 4070 TI Super 16GB VRAM

I’m running into annoyances with the sculpt tool. When I brush over, the brush seems to pause every second or so, then picks up, pauses, annoying interaction… not sure if this is a card issue or what….

I just did a test and I went up to 5M polys with no issues, was pretty smooth with 5 layers, I run Linux Mint 21.3, it might help, since Houdini is faster on Linux!

Are you using Vulcan or OpenGL viewpoints for sculpting with 5M and 5 layers?

Sculpt is so weird now. It doesn't update N attribute so you can get quite weird result.

Did some Pyro test renders in H20.5 at 512 samples, average frame render time 7 seconds, a tad more than 2.5X faster than 20.0

I am loving this...
