Project ID: 158523

Description

MoonRay is DreamWorks’ open-source, award-winning, state-of-the-art production MCRT renderer.

Each repository is packaged separately. As the documentation says, we can categorize OpenMoonray components in three groups.

Moonray: providing the command line renderer and libraries used to integrate MoonRay and author scene objects.

Arras: allows applications to use the MoonRay renderer running in one or more separate processes. Arras itself is not specific to MoonRay, and can be used to run other programs.

USD Plugin: Hydra render delegate plugin and several adapter plugins for the USD scene delegate.

There's no need to use environment variables, since I reestructured the project to follow standards. Some paths that you should know:

/usr/bin: executables.
/usr/lib64/openmoonray: coredata, rdl2dso, sessions,, shader_json.
/usr/lib64/usd/plugin: hydra delegate.

NOTE: This package is intended for standalone use, there's no support for SideFX Houdini.

Installation Instructions

To install all components, you can simply do sudo dnf install openmoonray.

If you simply want to render, I recommend you to do sudo dnf install moonray_gui, so you install only the necessary components to run Moonray and visualize the render.

Another recommendation is to install usd-hdMoonray, so you can test Moonray with usdview and other USD-compatible applications that uses system's USD libraries.
