Location Type or Attribute Type Description
geometry.type string This attribute controls how the volume
location is interpreted. Different render
plug-ins support specific attribute
conventions based on this attribute.
As of the PRMan 17 plug-in, the following
volume types are supported:
riblobby
riblobbydso
rivolume
rivolumedso
The corresponding attribute conventions
for each are described in the rest of this
section. Primvars are supported through
the canonical geometry.arbitrary
attribute convention.
Other > riblobby The riblobby type is mapped to a prman
RiBlobbyV call. The required attributes for
this type reflect the parameter of the
RiBlobbyV function.
See PRMan documentation for more
details.
