There isnt a correlation. HGVC points go straight across to RCI and you book through the portal. It uses HGVC points based on size. Its in the HGVC owners manual.
RCI points are completely different currency in RCI and vary based on location, demand, and size.
Here's the summary I wrote in 2014 that's posted on the TUG Advice Page.
RCI membership is included in the HGVC Club Dues. HGVC members use ClubPoints for RCI exchanges. HGVC has a set exchange rate for RCI exchanges (see table below). HGVC deducts ClubPoints from member’s account upon confirmation. Deposits are not required. Simply make the reservation or place an ongoing search request.
NOTE: HGVC members have access to RCI through the HGVC member website (not directly via an individual RCI account). As a result, standard RCI currencies normally associated with individual RCI accounts such as RCI Points or TPU values do not apply to HGVC members.
Number of ClubPoints Required for RCI exchanges
NOTE: Some areas are Red Season only year round (such as Hawaii, Florida, Nevada) while other areas support all three seasons (such as the Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Montana, Tennessee)
For example RCI Resort: Vacation Club II (RCI Code #5424) in northern Michigan has the following RCI Seasons
