XPU: improved error reporting when CUDA NVML library fails to load

XPU: improved error reporting when CUDA NVML library fails to load

Added oriented bbox mode to USD Create Component both USD Proxy Geometry, and added a prototypes destination control to USD Create Component.

Fixed a bug in outlines where depth-based detection may erroneously draw in lines over objects with outlines disabled that's in close proximity to objects with outlines enabled. Also addresses the issue where objects with outlines disabled always used random ID for contour detection, which prevented users from removing unwanted outlines on objects with outlines disabled using user-defined IDs.

In COPs, the 3D Output flag workflow now overlays image Type Info visualization onto polygon surfaces.

Fixed an issue where materials could appear transparent if the diffuse texture source was a COP ID layer.

Fixed bug where the tab menu's typeahead submenu could show the wrong icons.

Fixed heightfields to use point sampling if the diffuse layer uses integer storage.

Heightfield diffuse layers now respect COP layer type info.

Fixed an issue in Curve Animate that could key points unexpectedly when baking Auto tangents with synchronize keys turned off, and another issue that could prevent baked Auto tangents from getting the correct values for created keys.

Rasterize GSplats supports correct spherical harmonic color rendering across different OCIO color space settings.

The viewport gsplats now support correct SH color display across different OCIO scene-linear color spaces.

Fixed the viewport Gaussian splat point selection bug. Points can now be selected correctly in both shaded and wireframe mode.

The File COP's output layer(s) will now inherit the Border Type from the input size_ref, when the Border parameter is set to Default.

Add missing documentation for KARMA_ALBEDO_AOV_DIFFUSE environment variable.

Fixed a bug in SOP Import where material references authored via the usdmaterialreffile attribute incorrectly set the parent prim type to Xform rather than Scope.

Fixed Poly Frame tangent frame style of the input geometry in COP Preview Material SOP, to be linked to the MikkT Tangent Space toggle. This fixes render mismatch between VK and Karma rendering of normal maps.

Fixed a bug where deleting a large number of nodes froze Houdini.

Added HOUDINI_SCENEGRAPHTREE_ALPHASORT environment variable that controls whether to sort the scene graph tree alphabetically (1, the default), or to use the pri morder encoded in the USD data.
