Not to take away from this amazing release (really probably should be called H21 :-). I didn’t see a few things on the list, so just wanted to confirm that indeed they have not made it to 20.5.

1) Any support for NeRFs
2) OpenCL support for Sparse solver and NVidias Neural VDBs
3) On the animation side - full body IK, pose library, facial rigs, pose-based deformation (in the new context)


Thank you and kudos to SideFX for what looks like another amazing release.

tried poselibrary on 'scene animate' node. Not working. maybe they'll fix in the coming updates......

grateful that 20.5 has animation layers......

if we have working poselibrary, then houdini can seriously compete with Maya in Character Animation.....LoL ! can't wait
