This latest release of RenderMan for Maya 22 (RfM), includes a number of features to address feedback as well as some fixes to RenderMan for Maya workflow and performance.
Please see the release notes below for all the new capabilities and known issues! You may also wish to visit the migration page for selected highlights.
In RfM, problems caused by the presence of non-ascii characters in file paths (diacritics, etc.), RfM will error early (fail to load) with an informative message and warn if rendering resources are loaded from non-ascii paths. Please avoid accents, symbols, spaces, and other non-standard naming conventions in file paths, source files, and user names. |
On Linux, we now also look for the VISUAL environment variable when deciding what editor to use to view RIB. VISUAL will take precedence over the EDITOR variable
RfM will now show the previously selected shelf tab after it has built/re-built the RenderMan shelf
Fixed a bug where playblast to 'it' wouldn't automatically open he image sequence on windows, although it was saved to disk
You can find a useful Doxygenated developer documentation in the Developers' Guide under RfM2
Playblast on Windows does not automatically play in "it", open the sequence manually
Xgen : Xgen will crash during live rendering unless you set Window > Preferences > Xgen > Multithreading to "off" (unchecked). |
