Adding the standard "Resbuild Renderer-Specific Parameters" menu item to the Portal Light LOP.

Fixed position coordinates being incorrectly generated for the Layer to Points COP.

Fixed a bug where switching between Karma CPU and XPU might generate invalid textures, causing pink textures to show up in the viewport.

Fixed a viewport MatX shader generation bug when two different hex tiling nodes were used in the same shader.

Dictionary attributes are serialized into .vdb metadata as dict_ prefixed string data. Likewise, dict_ prefixed strings are extracted as dictionaries. This allows the new volvis dictionary attribute to round trip through .vdb files.

Updated Electra to include the head and neck in the skin selection controls.

Building VDBs in COPs when GPU is in bad state will error rather than crash.

Fixed an exception in the APEX Animate state that would be thrown when pre-highlighting a skin selector that did not have a corresponding control.

Changed the type of the APEX Animate viewer state's start and end frame parameters in the Bake tab from floats to integers.

Use @fstart/@fend instead of $FSTART/$FEND in several LOP default parameter values to prevent some unnecessary recooking of these nodes when the frame range changes (Configure Layer, Scene Import, and Edit Context Options nodes were affected).

Added color parameter to most of the autorig components and fixed layout of the parameters on the components. Fixed the parenting on the neck component and updated the lookat component.

Fixed a bug where capturing Pose Library poses with the Capture Thumbnails option enabled would freeze Houdini if inside a LOPs sopcreate node.

Backported a ROP fix from 21.0 to address a performance issue with ROP dependency processing.

Default Maximum Resolution on the Crop COP changed from 8092 to 8192.

When using a portal/domelight pair in LOPs, hide the light icon for the portal light in the viewer, showing just the domelight icon.

Fixed a bug where a cable plugged into the Wrangle COP would not run the operator for each wire in the cable.

Fix a number of issues with Joint Capture Paint

• Fix a couple crashes when changing the topology before making modifications.
• Fix issue using surface distance brush affecting the incorrect points.
• Fix issue drawing in orthographic views.
• Fix issue with the brush not showing the falloff correctly after changingthe brush style.
• Fix issue where the capture attribute would change when outputtingvisualization geometry.
• Use a colour visualizer to help see the painted mask over the texture.
• Fix a python error when deleting the node while in the state.
• Fix an issue where it would not reset to the input when copy input waspressed if the incoming geometry had no boneCapture attribute.
• Improve performance when Display deformed geometry is disabled.
• Change toggles to disable other toggles on the toolbar instead of hide them.

Improved performance in PolyExtrude 2.0 SOP.

• Updated the Houdini asset viewport when viewing COPs.
• Public API: Fixed SetCookOnParameterOrInputChanges ignoring input changes.
• Fixed texture material parameters being incorrectly sent as floats instead of strings.

Fixed GPU precision issues when placing a background image in a fixed ortho view under a significant zoom.

The Volume LOP is now able to read VDB files through FS plugins if the provided file path is not a simple path to a file on disk.

Fix transparent objects appearing as opaque when rendered with the Flipbook ROP.

The LOP Import SOP now issues a warning rather than erroring out if the LOP path is not specified.

Fixed a bug where objects could appear ghosted or hidden in the viewer when returning to SOPs from LOPs.

The Attribute Copy SOP's Attribute to Match's menu parameter now replaces instead of toggles values.
