Bug Fixes

• SideFx fixed dragging the Bxdf from the shop/risnet to the object in the Viewport to assign a shader.
• PxrBarnLightFilter manipulator works with width and height.
• PxrRodLightFilter manipulator works with width, height, and depth.
• Return handle for Light, LightFilter, and Displace so they will work with prman for python.
• SideFx fixed RIS Bxdf and patterns for prman for python.
• Added ri_autobias toggle.
• Removed force setting of trace displacement to on since it is now the default in the renderer.
• Added deepexr to RenderMan RIS ROP.

Known Limitations

RenderMan for Houdini

• Light filter linking is not supported yet.  This is due to Houdini limitation.
• Cannot resize or rotate the dome environment map in the viewport.  This is due to Houdini limitation.
• Rect light texture orients incorrectly in the viewport as the render though the render is correct.  This is due to Houdini limitation.
• IPR is not supported.  This is due to Houdini/SOHO limitation.
