Karma XPU, objects out of focus / blurry

[AntoineSfx]

Using for example this material. so that we can eliminate this variable:

The image is 1024 x 1024. I'm using Apprentice. This has to be done in Karma / XPU

The rendered texture is blurry, and I don't understand where the problem is coming from.

Are you able to get a result that is similar to the one you have on gpuopen after your click on the 3d icon ?

There are a couple of things you can try. In the houdini.env file bump up the max texture resolution.

KARMA_XPU_MAX_TEXTURE_RES = "4096"

On the Image Output/AOVs (Render Vars) tab set the Pixel Filter Size to zero.

I have experienced improvements with these settings, but Karma doesn't give you a 1:1 crispness compared to the original texture.

"Karma doesn't give you a 1:1 crispness compared to the original texture"

!! Do you mean render engines in general, or do textures render softer in Karma than in others?

For what it's worth, I was able to get rid of some of the bluriness by deactivating Karma: Rendering / Camera Effect / Depth of Field
