melazoma Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi all, I'm trying to get a RenderMan Run Program Geometry SHOP to work with the RibArchive ROP. I assigned a sphere at the object level with a material that has a RenderMan Run Program Geometry SHOP. The RenderMan ROP will output the scene with the Procedural "RunProgram" line, but I can't get the RibArchive ROP to output the object with the RunProgram line in an archive. I've tried assigning the material with a Material SOP with no luck. A test scene and rib outputs (renamed to .txt for upload) are attached. Someone please help. TIA rman_geoshader_test.hip archive.txt fullscene.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanw Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 The easiest way to get this working is to use the outdated "H8 Archive Generator ROP" and make sure "include object shaders" is toggled. It says it's for prman 12.5, so you may encounter issues with other parameters, but it will inject the Procedural call. Another easy alternative is to run a post render python script on your generated RIB Archives to inject the "Procedural" call. You could also add the shop_geometrypath soho parm to the object that loads your RIB archive instead of the archive itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
