I am working in a scene with a ground fracture simulation that has around 15k packed geo primitives in it, and the viewport performance has become so bad the scene is impossible to work with.

With Vulkan enabled, switching contexts or changing the active geometry in SOPs will cause Houdini to stop responding with ~10% of the CPU cooking for 5+ minutes. ESC key does not recover the session, and no info is printed in the bottom console bar, so this does not seem to be related to cooking.



In OpenCL mode, the viewport behaves as expected even with the number of objects (performance monitor specifies any delay is due to cooking).

AMD 7900XTX 16GB VRAM

Hey all -

I've been trying to get motion blur on my volumes, and have followed the directions in this post exactly:

http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=172&page=viewtopic&t=22128&highlight=volume+motion+blur [sidefx.com]

However, it's not working. I can open up that posted project and see it fine, however if I try to re-create it I get no results.

Here's a simple project file - a spherical volume, spinning around an axis, then a point cloud made with v calculated, and passed to a vel volume. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong here?

Thanks.

Ahhhh, ok. That makes sense. With that advice, I've been texturing non-stop for two days!

Thanks again.
