Exposes NVIDIA's Warp framework to Houdini.
NVIDIA's Warp provides access to running high-performance kernels either on the CPU or GPU, all with the convenience of writing the code in Python.
See the official reference pages for more information:
- home page: https://developer.nvidia.com/warp-python
- documentation: https://nvidia.github.io/warp
- code repository: https://github.com/NVIDIA/warp
This HDA is very much NOT production-ready and hasn't been thoroughly tested.
Use at your own risk!
An HDA file is already provided but it is also possible to build it anew using
the script ./bin/nvidiawarp.
- Install Warp using the official instructions.
- Make Warp's Python package available to Houdini—running
import warpfrom within Houdini's shell should not error out. - Add the
./houdinifolder to theHOUDINI_PATHenvironment variable.
The help page for the node comes with a couple of examples, check them out!
