Hello SideFX Team,

I'm currently using the Karma renderer for my projects and I appreciate the capabilities it brings to the table. However, I've encountered challenges with the smoothness of IPR (Interactive Photorealistic Rendering) playback, especially when dealing with animations. The current setup sometimes struggles to provide a fluid preview, which can be a bit of a hindrance during the creative pr

I believe many artists in our community could benefit from enhanced IPR performance. Improvements in this area would greatly facilitate a more interactive and responsive workflow, particularly when fine-tuning animations and visual effects.

Could the team consider optimizing the Karma renderer to enhance the smoothness of IPR playback in future updates? Any advancements in this aspect would be incredibly valuable and much appreciated by the Houdini user base.

Can Houdini's Karma achieve this effect, mixing normals? https://alexeysmolenchuk.github.io/hGeoPatterns/ [alexeysmolenchuk.github.io]

Oh my goodness, I think I've encountered a big problem. The model rendered by Karma is automatically subdivided, and the model is N-gon, which is a disaster for this model. Does any expert know how to solve this?

Use a mesh edit to change the subdivision scheme to None for the offending shape. A more heavy-handed approach would be to set dicing quality scale to 0.001. An option that only affects renders to disk is changing the complexity to Low on the usdrender rop.

It's effective, you've literally saved my life, I don't know how to express my gratitude in words. Thank you！
