Extract Solaris Camera Position to SOP Geometry March 14, 2025, 5:06 a.m.

You can access the usd_attrib(utes) and usd_localtransform(s) from a wrangle node in sops. Just make sure that there's a file node inbetween this query and the export to lops. Otherwise there's a problem (infinite loop).

No need for a lop camera import if this is possible.

Mtlx AO backface issue Nov. 28, 2024, 4:48 a.m.

This seems to me like a bug. Backfaces appear black and not shaded correctly.

As if the normal for the ao calculation is pointing in the normal of the prim, but the shading is transfered to it's back. As if doubled sided calculations are broken.

Can anybody confirm this?

Using a mesh edit node with double sided checked didn't change anything.

Rendervisibility -reflect NOT excluding coat reflections Nov. 23, 2024, 10:58 a.m.

primvars::karma::object::rendervisibility -> -reflect not excluding the coat reflections. Is there a special flag like -coat (which doesn't work)?

Consider this kind of a bug.

Is there a list with additional flags except from the ones which pop up by using the presets?


Cheers
