Known Limitations

 

Live Rendering

• Changing the cameraName in RenderSettings doesn't update AOVs without a specified camera

• Creating a mesh light from existing geometry will duplicate the geometry in-render. Restart the render to remove the duplicate

• Cannot change a geometry primitive type during live rendering (e.g. from NURBS to polymesh)

• When assigning a material to a Scene Graph location, that location must be enabled in the live render working set

• Live render edits to the visible attribute need group locations to be "included with children" in the Live Render Working Set

 

Katana Limitation

• The Monitor doesn't support adding/removing displays during a live render
• If you use ROI and overscan or cropWindow, the ROI will have to be adjusted slightly after a resolution edit to get the correct value during a live render
• Instanced lights with filters using the "Light Filter" coordsys have an incorrect transform. The workaround is to promote the light filter to a shared light filter using a light filter reference.
• We do not receive live render edits from Katana for nodes added at the end of the node graph, right above the Render node.  If a no-op node (e.g. Merge) is inserted above the Render node and the node is added above that then the edit is received.
• Any live updates will cause interactive motion blur to be disabled. The render must be restarted.
