Anyone know why I'm seeing this blueish tint when using Karma XPU vs Karma CPU? All materialX shaders.

It seems like the shadow color has changed to blue for the main light. It’s challenging to pinpoint the issue based solely on a screenshot, but consider adding an AOV – it might help identify the problematic area. Additionally, given Houdini’s transitional phase, using a newer version might resolve the problem.

actually, probably easiest to just download the hip, but attached the zip for ease of use. If you check out the "Instance Decorations and Render" box, that is the full scene.

Adding light filter gel for light fixes tint somehow, and it's not just shadow.

There is some issue with latest nvidia drivers and XPU, rolling back to older studio driver version fixed problem.

Just to close this down, I'm not seeing this problem in the latest production build ( 20.5.410 ). Thanks!

I had the exact same issue, and lowering the "specular multiplier" on the light to ~0.95 solved the blue tint.

But good to know that it is resolved now.
