This new release of RenderMan for Houdini 23 (RfH), includes a number of new features and bug fixes that address feedback and improvements.
| Note |
|---|
RfH 23 is only available for Houdini versions 17.0 and higher. We no longer support Houdini 16.5. |
...
Schedule rendering tasks with the new RenderMan TOP nodes - Texture Maker (txmake), Generate RIB (generaterib), Render RIB (renderrib), ROP RenderMan Render (ropris), RenderMan Denoise (risdenoise) - or render with a ROP Fetch node.
IMPROVED HDA CONVERSION
adsfaSet environment variable RFH_ARGS2HDA=1 to create houdini digital assets on start up based on .args or .oso files found in RMAN_SHADERPATH and/or RMAN_RIXPLUGINPATH. Don't want to convert shaders every houdini startup? You can also use the args2hda.py script elsewhere in your pipeline. We have also improved the args2hda.py script to handle more complex shader metadata.
