Houdini Main Changelogs

18.5.210

Added parms to partitioner nodes for controlling the way attributes are merged from work items onto partitions that contain them. It is now possible to have the partition keep all values from the work item inside, or to pick a higher level merge operation such as Average, Minimum or Unique Values.

The Prune LOP now automatically authors time sampled visibility information if it needs to (because the primitives on the incoming stage have time sampled or time varying visibility data already). Also added a new Prune parameter that can be easily animated to generate per-frame time samples for the visibility of primitives or instances.

husk/karma will now render more interactively to mplay. In addition, there's a new command line option to render simultaneously to an mplay "monitor" while simultaneously rendering to a disk file. The "--mplay-monitor" command line argument takes a list of AOVs that are sent to mplay. For example "--mplay-monitor C,diffuse" will show the progress of the C and diffuse AOVs in mplay while rendering a full set of AOVs to disk.
