nurbspatch - Arnold for Katana

The nurbspatch scenegraph location, in addition to the usual built-in attributes specified for the location by Katana and arbitrary user data ( geometry.arbitrary.* ), KtoA supports the following:

  • geometry.point.Pw : you may use this 4-component float point version to specify control points intead of geometry.point.P
  • geometry.point.Pref : three floats per control point, specifying a reference pos for use in sticking projective texture/noise/etc to the patch through animation.

The standard attributes geometry.trimcurves, geometry.uSize, and geometry.vSize are ignored (the latter two are inferred from the number of control points, knots, etc).

Note:

Note that displacement parameters (set on ArnoldObjectSettings) are also honored for nurbs patches.
