It would be great if we can add support for it to use that for "review" renders instead of the OpenGL ROP. The node's parameters pretty much seems like a 1:1 match of the OpenGL node.
How would you imagine the implementation of the feature?
Support the new Flipbook ROP node natively as a review instance.
Are there any labels you wish to add?
[X] I have added the relevant labels to the enhancement request.
Describe alternatives you've considered:
Client mentioned that for them it made sense to set a default in settings somewhere so that e.g. a review defaults to either the OpenGL node OR the Flipbook node. I'm not convinced that's the best approach yet - I think having a separate creator may be safest, that is also generating review product type should be just fine. Then in settings the studio can enable/disable EITHER creator so the old remains as is, and the new becomes available. Since we may never know how much the two nodes will remain aligning.
Is there an existing issue for this?
Please describe the feature you have in mind and explain what the current shortcomings are?
Houdini 20.5 introduces a new ROP node "Flipbook" which acts like a replacement to the the OpenGL ROP but instead uses the Vulkan viewport renderer.
