- Loop Subdivision. Catmull-Clark for both quads and triangles is supported
- Points. Have been partially implemented. Point falloff is not yet supported
- The built-in curvature doesn't match RIS and will be receiving enhancements in a future release
- Object attributes such as maxdiffusedepth and maxspeculardepth not yet implemented

Rendering
| Post Processing | RIS | XPU | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Sample and Display Filters | ✅ | ❌ |
| Pipeline | RIS | XPU | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
AOVs and LPEs | ✅ | ❌ | |
EXR, TIFF | ✅ | ✅ | |
Deep Output | ✅ | ❌ | |
Holdouts | ✅ | ❌ | |
| PxrCamera | ✅ | ❌ |
Notes :
- XPU currently only outputs EXR or TIFF frames
- Adaptive sampling is yet to be implemented
- Motion blur has not been fully implemented
- Trace Subsets have not been implemented. This then impacts the subsurfaceSubset feature of PxrSurface
- Only some geometric built-in AOVs are available under the same name they are available for RIS
- Deep Output. Coming soon.
- Multi-camera, multi-frame are not yet supported
- The built-in curvature calculation different is different to RIS, which results in differences in specular mollification.
- The "weighted" option for the pixelfiltermode parameter to the Hider is not yet supported.
- Procedurals not supported. However, if you are using the latest XGen in Maya, you should get renders of your data.
- Baking - either at the pattern level via PxrBakeTexture or at the renderer level to bake global illumination is not yet supported.
