Object ID Setting After selecting an object, go to the Attribute Editor > Transform / Extra Attributes of the selected object. Enter a number in the RPR Object Id ※You can check by selecting Radeon ProRender >AOV>Object Id. Object IDs are displayed in colors assigned by number. The same number will be displayed in the same color. In order to color-code each object, you must first configure the settings. Caution: Settings cannot be made or changed on the Render Pool. 31
Material ID Setting Select shading group in Hypershade>. Enter a number in the RPR Material Id field under Extra Attributes. ※ You can check by selecting Radeon ProRender >AOV>Material Id. The Material Id displays the color assigned according to the number, and the same number displays the same color. In order to color-code each object, it is necessary to set the color first. Caution: Settings cannot be made or changed on the Render Pool. 32

You can apply more settings after adding check on Enable Sequence Export First Frame: Specifies the first frame of the export range. Last Frame: Specifies the last frame of the export range. Frame Extention: Naming convention for generated files. Frame padding:Specifies the number of frame digits to be generated. Export animation as single file: ON The deform values of the vertices are not output, only the transform values. OFF Outputs both the deform and transform values of a vertex. ※ it is recommended that the output be turned off. Export Textures As Single File: ON When exporting, no RPRsb files is created and a single RPR file is output. OFF During Export, the file is split into RPRsb. ※ It is recommended that the output be turned off. Compression: Compression ratio of geometry data. Select Camera: Specifies the camera to be rendered. Launch Export: Specify the location of the file to be output and start Exporting If Enable Sequence Export is off, First Frame,Last Frame,Frame Extension,Frame padding will be greyed out 43
Compress the output material using zip or 7z. ※ Compression formats supported by RenderPool Rendering with Renderpool/ Archive Exported Data The output folder for RPR-ized data contains .rprsb files, .json files, .rpr files and other data are written out. Upload the compressed version to Render Pool. 44
Others / Material Library Menu bar Radeon Pro Render >> Radeon Pro Render >> Radeon Pro Render >> Radeon Pro Render Click on Radeon ProRender Material Library and select Open the library. You can also select a material from the library and use it. 46
Others / Convert Scene from other render engine ① Menu bar Arnold> Utilities> Convert Shaders to Arnold Instructions for batch converting a scene using Maya standard shaders to RPR shaders. ② Select All if you want all shaders in the scene to be Arnold. When opening Hypershade, You can see that the shader has been changed to an RPR shader. 47
その他 / Convert Scene from other render engine ③Radeon>ProRender>Convert>Convert Arnold Scene to RPR ④ Select whether to keep the Arnold shaders to be converted. If you do not want to keep them, select Yes. Inside Hypershade, You can see that the shader has been changed to the Radeon ProRender shader. 48
