When DomeLight of USD was imported in mayaUSD, it functioned as a light but not as a background

V-Ray for Maya V-Ray for Maya :: Issues

Invisibility is enabled as in vrayDomeLight.
I understand that this can be handled with custom attributes, but there is no setting in USDDomeLight to not render the background, so I believe it is correct in the USD spec that the background is visible.
What is the intent of the implementation here?​
#usda 1.0
(
    metersPerUnit = 0.01
    upAxis = “Y”
)

def DomeLight_1 “DomeLight_1”
{
    color3f inputs:shadow:color
    bool inputs:shadow:enable = 1

## Add the following code to render the background
    # custom int vray:LightDome_invisible = 0
}

There’s a “VRay Light Dome Invisible” attribute in the Extra Attributes of the duplicated USD VRayDomeLight, and it seems to work as expected. Is this not the case on your end?

I think I can go with that! Thanks!
