7.21. RIBArchive — Reference an external RIB archive

The RIBArchive class represents geometry that is defined in an external RIB file. When the scene is rendered using a RenderMan renderer the RIB file will be included via a call to RiReadArchive(). In an interactive viewer, a RIBArchive object will be invisible.

class RIBArchive(name = "RIBArchive", filename = None, auto_insert = True)

filename is the name of the external RIB file.
