Renderman Deepshadows : TX_FLOAT?


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

When rendering with prman12 from Houdini 7.0.230, prman is producing deepshadows with a Channel Datatype of TX_BYTE. (You can use txinfo to find out). MTOR and one of our in-house renderers (Terragen) are outputing TX_FLOAT. Anyone have a quick idea of why this might be happening in Houdini and what I need to set in the RIBstream to allow Houdini to output deepshadows as TX_FLOAT before I launch one of the ever-entertaining investigations into MTOR RIB streams.

(The in-house renderer uses the API, not RIB so that doesn't really help me)

PS. I've tried Quantize "z" 0 0 0 0 - no such luck.
