Hiding an empty also hides its children in IPR #702

Closed erjiang closed 10 months ago

erjiang commented 10 months ago

In Blender, hiding an empty object should not hide its children. This is true for the Blender viewport and built-in renderers. In the RenderMan IPR, hiding an empty will cause its children to also be hidden, sometimes unpredictably.

To reproduce:

  1. Create an empty.
  2. Create a cube.
  3. Make the empty the cube's parent.
  4. Start IPR
  5. Hide the empty

Expected:

Cube should remain visible

Actual:

Cube disappears

Sometimes the children of hidden empties will show up when IPR is started, then disappear when IPR is updated.

I will try address this for RenderMan 26. I think this will require a larger change that I'm not comfortable pushing back to the current dev branch.

This should be fixed now. However, as I said earlier I'm probably not going to push it back to the current dev branch as it's quite a large change.
