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.
Now 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. |
Batched OSL execution is enabled by default (on CPUs supporting AVX, AVX2 or AVX512)
Fixed a crash that could occur when scrubbing timeline during IPR for scenes involving MASH meshes
You can find a useful Doxygenated developer documentation in the Developers' Guide under RfM2
Xgen : Xgen will crash during live rendering unless you set Window > Preferences > Xgen > Multithreading to "off" (unchecked). |
