You can always copy an ellipse to your points. That should inherit any scale and color attributes your material can extract. I'd just copy a UV grid to your points, make them always facing the camera, and then leverage an image map with an opacity map to handle the fade from center required.

thanks! another thing i want to know does houdini can set render pipline's "alpha blend" factor? such as "oneMinusSrcAlpha".

Hi, nowdays 3d gaussian splat is very popular and i want to process / render it inside houdini because houdini's powerful geometry processing ability.
But i can't render point as a ellipse, just a sphere or circle, so is it possible to render point as ellipse with scale or other attribute?
And control the opacity of ellipse from center to edge?

Hi, i have a intel gpu(a770 8G), and it looks not work with new vulkan viewport, in geometry op, models can't display in viewport;
if i switch to opengl mode and save the config, next time i open houdini it still maintains vulkan mode and not work with intel gpu.
Anyone met this problem?

have you tried the environment variable? set HOUDINI_VULKAN_VIEWER=0

thanks, it works.
But i still want to try new vulkan viewport.
