Increase in USD file size when using cache nodes Oct. 3, 2024, 9:34 a.m.

Please submit as a bug, thanks.

Increase in USD file size when using cache nodes Oct. 3, 2024, 8:25 a.m.

The Motion Blur LOP has an embedded Cache LOP in it which is set to "Cache Cooked Frames". This, as you suspected, leads to an aggregation of data where on frame 1 you only cache samples for frame 1 and, on frame 10, end up with a cache of samples for frames 1-10.

Our USD ROP (and USD Render ROP) have control for filtering out "irrelevant" time samples when writing out the USD files, but it looks like it's not working as-expected in the USD Render ROP. See the attached image for things working when using the USD ROP to write out the files.

Can you please log a bug?

Husk Procedural hair example Sept. 6, 2024, 3:51 a.m.

has there been any progress on multi-sampled blur? is this a limitation of procedurals in general or just the hair procedural right now?

It is still a limitation of the way we execute the SOP graphs a single time (rather than at shutter open, close, etc). All the currently-shipped procedurals (except the crowd procedural) go through this mechanism.
