Im not able to get this working. Anyone has a guess?

Thanks!

Do you mean using the USD Render ROP to send images to “it”? This is not possible because batch rendering from Solaris is all done through the “husk” process, which is a renderer-agnostic wrapper around a minimal hydra framework. It is husk that actually writes the images to disk, and because husk is a Houdini component, not a prman component, it doesn't know anything about “it”.

Ah males sense. Thanks

Not having “it” or some sort of frame buffer to render to currently makes it difficult to compare render settings / times, render region to figure out sampling settings, etc when working in LOPs. Are there plans to support Houdini's Render View w/ LOPs or will those features come to the LOPs viewport?

A new version of the Render View is planned for LOPs. For now, mplay can be used as a frame buffer when rendering with the usd_render or karma nodes. The viewer can also save snapshots of the current state of the ipr render to mplay/to disk.

Awesome, thanks for the update we'll just render to disk and compare that way in the meantime.

Hi! Any update on this? I've been trying to work with renderman 24 and solaris and not having IT makes a big difference .
Thank you

Yes, 18.5 has a render gallery that works as a framebuffer. I doubt 'it' will ever be an option with Solaris.

It used to be possible to "proto_install" a Renderman framebuffer and Mantra would write to it, displaying stuff in 'it' and 'ip'. Is this kind of thing no longer possible?
