There is a new built-in procedural geometry shader for mantra:

metapoly [-o object] [-v velocity_attrib] [-t shutter] [-L LOD]

The metapoly procedural will convert metaball geometry to polygons at render time. This will typically use more memory than direct rendering of metaballs.

However, this means that render speed of metaball geometry can be tuned using the level of detail parameters in objects (or the -L option to mantra, or the -L option to the procedural).

Displacement shaders may also be applied to the procedural.

Motion blur of metaballs can also be accomplished by specifying a velocity attribute name (and time scale).

Mantra now supports procedural geometry generation. This allows a procedural geometry shader to generate geometry at render time, rather than having the geometry passed through from Houdini.

Using the attribute pop to create a local variable for a one element attribute called FOO will now also create a local variable called FOO along with FOO1 (previous behavior).
