TOP networks are used to schedule tasks - anywhere from running simulations to rendering. Read more about PDG here. RenderMan is now integrated into PDG with various nodes for rendering, converting textures, denoising, and generating RIB. Note that "Do Nothing" selections will use the RenderMan default unless Set otherwise by the user.
| Note |
|---|
Currently there is bug where the output of RenderMan render TOPs is the rib file path even if one is not generated. |
...
This TOP node is a clone of the RenderMan Render TOP except with the "Write RIB" parameter enabled.
RenderMan Denoise
explanation of parameters here. The output of the parent node will be denoised unless the Image parameter is set. This image needs the proper AOVs for denoising. See an explanation of these parameters here.
| Note |
|---|
Crossframe denoising is not yet supported. |
Render RIB
explanation of parameters here. Wire in a generate rib node as input or provide a RIB path. This node is a wrapper of the prman executable with all the available command line arguments provided as parameters. See an explanation of these parameters here.
Texture Maker
explanation of parameters here. This node will convert the input image or the image parameter if provided to a texture by calling txmake with the set parameters. See an explanation of these parameters here.
