Fixed Flipbook ROP rendering of fog volumes in worklight mode.

Backslashes are now handled properly in hou.hipFile callbacks.

Added Flatten Faces parameter to Crystal Noise COP.

Updated Foot component to be more robust in handling ball postitions and rotations when setting it up. Updated how the middle control defualt rotation is handled in the spline component. Increased the bias for the findPrimaryAxis subgraph.

Fixed error in Otis Muscle and Tissue Configure SOP where Detail Attribute dropdown caused an error to popup.

Fixed broken motionblur option on the Flipbook ROP.

Fixed a bug where karma could crash if there was a constant "widths" attribute with no motion segments when rendering motion blurred geometry.

Primitive color is properly shown on SDF volumes and VDBs in the viewer.

Fixed volume bounding box not updating in LOPs.

Performance improvements for shaded polygon curve updates

Changed usdGenSchema script to invoke with hython instead of python3.

Fixed a bug where shadow maps for the 3 Point Lighting worklights would be incorrect

Fixed a bug with the HDA Processor's Missing Input parameter having no effect. The parameter was supposed to make it possible for file inputs to be missing without causing the HDA tasks to fail.
