RibBox

The Archives sample renders instances of RibBox nodes.

The Procedural/RibBox node renders the content of an archive .rib file (or .rib.gz for compressed files).

Rib archives can be generated from any Guerilla project using the File/Create Archive... command.

The content of the archive file should follow the RenderMan® Interface Specification.
