The most transformative addition is , a total reimagining of Houdini’s compositing (COPs) context.

In 20.5.278, Karma XPU (the GPU/CPU hybrid renderer) sees significant stability improvements.

: A redesigned and GPU-accelerated image processing framework that replaces the older COP system. It includes over 150 nodes and is designed for texture synthesis, map-building, and procedural material authoring.

This latest production build brings continued refinements, important bug fixes, and performance tweaks across several key areas of the software.

: The Vulkan-based viewport is in beta, nearing feature parity with the traditional OpenGL viewport for improved future-proof performance.

A high-performance, GPU-accelerated 2D and 3D image framework. It serves as a modern alternative to traditional texturing tools, allowing for procedural texture generation, NPR (non-photorealistic) shading, and real-time "slap comps" directly within Houdini.
