    // return (RtPointer)FilePath;
}

PRTRENDER
RtVoid Subdivide(RtPointer Data, RtFloat Detail)
{
    RtInt N = 1024;
    RtToken VarP = {"P"};
    RtToken VarCWidth = {"constantwidth"};
    
    gsl_qrng* QRNG = gsl_qrng_alloc(gsl_qrng_sobol,3);
    
    RtFloat* P = (RtFloat*)malloc( sizeof(float)*N*3 );
    
    for( int i=0; i<N; ++i )
    {
        double SingleSobol[3];
        gsl_qrng_get(QRNG,SingleSobol);
        
        int j = i*3;
        P[j+0] = SingleSobol[0] * 2.0 - 1.0;
        P[j+1] = SingleSobol[1] * 2.0 - 1.0;
        P[j+2] = SingleSobol[2] * 2.0 - 1.0;
    }
    
    RtFloat CWidth = 0.01f;
    RtToken DataVar[2] = {VarP,VarCWidth};
    RtPointer DataPointers[2] = {P,&CWidth};
        
    RiPointsV(N,2,DataVar,DataPointers);
    
    free(P);
    gsl_qrng_free(QRNG);
}

PRTRENDER
RtVoid Free(RtPointer Data)
{
    // free(Data);
}

这是在Maya中建模的粒子模型，导出为PRT格式的文件，而后使用DSO读取后直接渲染之。



RenderMan supports to generate procedural primitives dynamically, based on both external stdin/stdout execute or DSO. The first is less efficient because the render has to parse the RIB into RI calls again. I will show you how to use this feature to render Karakatoa particles from an PRT file in RenderMan-like render. This DSO has been tested in RPS 13.5 and Aqsis 1.6. Let's begin from an tiny DSO which generate 3D Sobol quasi-random sequence. We made the particles in Maya, exported it as PRT file, and then rendered it by DSO directly.
