Control (UI) Default Value Function
ribinclude N/A This is a place where you can add any arbitrary rib code to
the section of
the rib defined by the cel statement. If the string entered
appears to be a rib file (ends with .rib), the contents of
the file will be included as a rib archive. Otherwise, the
text itself is entered into the rib stream.
enableStrictVisibilityTesting No When set to Yes, prman visibility options (camera, diffuse,
specular, transmission, photon, midpoint) are not re-
enableable beneath a bounded location where they had
been previously disabled. This is actually PRman's default
behavior (at least since prman 12.5). Normally, to
emulate the behavior artists prefer, Katana plays some
tricks (see the note below) with the prman attribute
stack. However, this convenience is at the expense of
memory and performance. Thus it is often desirable to
disable this behavior, such as during instancing. Once this
attribute is enabled in the Scene Graph, sub-sequence
calls to unset it (at child locations) are ignored.
Note: To allow the traditional re-enabling of visibility,
Katana resets the visibility to all on before all subdivide
calls. Following the subdivide, the original attributes are
restored. (Katana keeps its own record of the visibility
attribute stack internally).
To see the actual values in the hierarchy:
1. View the node whose Scene Graph you want to see.
2. Select the Scene Graph location whose attributes you want to examine.
3. In the Attributes tab, look under the prmanStatements section.
