Info

To correctly render per-lobe LPE in Katana, you need to use an OpScript to declare how these are routed to the outputs. Below is the full OpScript to use for the lobe names defined by PxrSurface and PxrMarschnerHair. If your studio has its own bxdfs with different names, you will need to add those names to these Options.

Interface.SetAttr('prmanGlobalStatements.options.lpe.diffuse2', StringAttribute("Diffuse,HairDiffuse"))
Interface.SetAttr('prmanGlobalStatements.options.lpe.diffuse3', StringAttribute("Subsurface"))
Interface.SetAttr('prmanGlobalStatements.options.lpe.specular2', StringAttribute("Specular,HairSpecularR"))

  • To make this AOV render interactively you can add it to the interactiveOutputs selection in the RenderSettings node.

 

  • Advanced: You can also add a statistics selection to the node. Typically used for diagnosis and tuning:

    • "variance" – estimates the statistical variance of values contributing to the pixel in associated source channel.
    • "mse" – like variance, but diminishes towards zero as the number of samples increases. Though somewhat noisy itself, this can provide an estimate for the amount of mean-squared-error versus a hypothetical ground-truth image.
    • "even" – an image produced using only one half of the camera samples
    • "odd" – an image produced using just the other half of the camera samples
