Welcome to RenderMan for Houdini 23.4!
This release of RenderMan for Houdini (RfH) 23, includes a number of new features and bug fixes that address feedback.
- Please see the required version of Houdini for 18.0 as we have updated versions: Due to binary incompatibility, 23.4 will require different installation steps as linked here.
- Rendering with RenderMan will not operate on Houdini Apprentice editions. See Side FX's website for options that allow Third Party Rendering
Fixes
- Fixed a bug where the manifold coordsys was not interactive
Miscellaneous Changes
Reminder: Renamed Houdini velocity privmars called "v" to "vel"; as "v" is a reserved attribute for RenderMan geometry. Shaders in RenderMan for Houdini should refer to "vel" instead of "v".
