Pretty sure that applies also to Mantra renders. But, most places have a
smaller pool of engine licenses and export all frames to .ass or .ifd for
rendering. Since export times are usually shorter than render times, it
works out quite efficiently. But yeah, definitely another expense to
consider.

I'm loving working with Houdini, but sometimes it's just frustratingly
slow. Even with the new VDB tools, converting and caching everything out as
volume fields is a real drag.
But then again the caching workflow is super-slick. I shudder at the

Particle ID is unique, but point index is not.
For example, when you delete some particles, their ID is removed from the
set, but the point indices will be shifted. So for any particle ID, its
index could change from one frame to the next.

This may well me the case, but I can tell you with some certainty that in
multi-thousand object scenes, Softimage handles simple operations like a

For an OOTB solution, did you try resampling your curve onto a very dense

The end result of using Curve Distance to Curve Location is the setting of
a data attribute (CurveLocation).
The compounds are pointing to Self because you can only set data on Self,

In ICE, you can pull an attribute from a node context and write it back to
a UV property, but I wouldn't exactly say it's a stable or recommended
workflow. Honestly, updating your exporter would be simpler, but in that
case you almost certainly will encounter the previously mentioned aggresive

Yeah, in your example scene, you've created a texture projection on your
copy geometry and you're attempting to write the UVs that. Forget about
using standard texture projections with ICE topo - just store UV data in a
custom vector ICE attribute. Of course, you'll have to modify your exporter

The Python OM way of doing this is to use the polygonmesh.Set method, to

Looks great! You should be able to drop all of your shader samples

unified sampling. Keeping shader samples at a minimum will allow for more
