Summary
Before everyone leaves for the Christmas Holidays we want to announce the last Prism Update for 2024
2.0.14 adds support for the latest Houdini builds and ShapeFX Loki, as well as many improvements to the USD workflow and various fixes.
Details
The new features include the following:
- added support for Houdini QT6 builds. This enables using Karma XPU in Prism Standalone (screenshot)
- added support for opening USD files in ShapeFX Loki
- added several improvements to the multi shot workflow in Houdini. This new approach makes use of context options in Houdini and will offer a much more streamlined setup process. This workflow is still in early stages and will be refined in future updates.
- added several improvements to the USD layer workflow in Maya. This will make it much easier to work with rigs and USD assets in the future. Stay tuned for upcoming tutorials about that.
- added option to load RV annotations by clicking on attachments of notes in RV
- and many other new features and improvements
The full changelog is available here.
