New features

  • Build system: Added option in vfx_platform_builder script to disable
    requirement for Houdini or Katana plugins.
  • Katana: Handle USD purposes in KatanaPlugin.
    "guide" and "proxy" are viewed in the viewport but not in renderer.
    "render" is viewed everywhere (viewport and render).
  • Katana: Handle USD Lights.
    All lights are scanned and put into a lightList at /root/world in Katana
    to ensure the renderer find them. Since UsdLuxLight is not a concrete schema,
    we made an ArnoldLight that inherits from UsdLuxLight and allow us to have generic
    ArnoldLight into USD scene.
  • Maya: Variants support in the Walter outliner.
  • Arnold: primvar support for Usd PointInstancer

Bug fixes

  • Arnold: Texture coords stretching issue resolved.
  • Katana: crash when scene graph is evaluated and layers are changed.
