[@nicebluetiger]

Great tutorial! I think that its the best clarifaying XPU how-to tutorial. Thnaks a lot! Do you think that its possible to use XPU tu render oceans?

[@nicebluetiger]

Great shot✌🔝

I was hoping this vid was going to cover rendering separate smoke and fire AOV's. Does anyone know if this can happen? - like it used to be in mantra.

[@mikkepalvanen]

It's only showing my hdri in the karma render viewport but not any of the fire/smoke, any idea why? In viewport and mantra everything works fine

[@FarizNugroho]

cool tutorial , but i cannot control the ramp of density and flame like Pyrobakevolume/ Pyro advancedshader to get the details of fire

[@SKYWHITEFX]

Pyro bake volume works only with Mantra render, with karma it will not work, it is only for viewing purpose.

[@MrBrunoBiondo]

I have the same problem. In Houdini 20 you can create a material directly from the Pyro Bake Volume and insert it into the Material Library (in the Stage section) and you will have both the classic shader and the one for Karma XPU. The problem is that the shader for Karma XPU only copies some values, but not the range of fields you use. So it will use the whole range of density, temperature etc without clamping anything. I honestly don't understand all the enthusiasm for Karma. Side FX talked about it as if it were revolutionary, but the whole new rendering system on Stage + Karma is just confusing. Mantra is foolproof and allows you to set up Render Layers quickly. I'm using Karma only because it's faster, but it's really uncomfortable.

[@TheLorsange]

Awesome!!! But did you solve trouble with water volume shading with XPU?

[@nictanghe98]

Can`t seem to get the colours / burn / density in there evrything is just flames.

[@bartoszfraczak3972]

Smoke, Scatter and Fire values need to be set as well in kma_pyropreview1 and in pyrobakevolume. Somehow I missed it first time so it wasnt working for me as well and I wasnt getting any fire/flames so maybe u missed it as well.

Great tut man!

The VDB conversion crashes Karma XPU in Houdini 19.5.303 :-(

[@UnrealQW]

@@SKYWHITEFX Updated to latest Houdini 19.5.615 and it WORKS! Thank you so much!
