How to Set Up AOVs

To set up an AOV in Renderman for Katana:

  • Create a PrmanOuputChannelDefine node for each AOV channel. This sets up the channel name for RiDisplayChannel.

  • Create a RenderOutputDefine node for each AOV file. This sets up the output file name and channel name be used for RiDisplay.

  • Wire the PrmanOutputChannelDefine node into RenderOutputDefine to see the added channel in the RenderOutputDefine's channel drop down (MatteID0 in the example above).
