Hi
This is probably a real stupid question but can somebody please explain to me the difference(s) (if any) between mantra and vmantra. I hitched the train with version 5.5 so i'm not sure if this is some old feature just tagging along.
Can't seem to find anything in the docs either
Thanks

As a matter of fact. There is a small distinction: while we refer to the same engine and/or executable mantra, meaning the Houdini renderer as opposed to rman (RenderMan) or mray (mental ray), in Houdini UI runtime parlance we refer to mantra as render(er|ing) without VEX shaders taken into account, and obviously to vmantra with VEX shaders.
