There are 3 required components for setting up a stylized render:

#### 1. Add a Stylized Display Filter

These filters can be created and appended to the display filter list with the RenderMan menu tool.

#### 2. Enable Stylized AOVs

This parameter will add the necessary AOVs to the displays. Disabling this option will remove stylized display filters from the render.

#### 3. Connect PxrStylizedControl to materials

Not all objects in the scene need to have this pattern.  A dynamic array is needed to connect the integer output of PxrStylizedControl to PxrSurface's utilityPattern input. To add PxrStylizedControl to multiple materials, use the Stylize tool found in the RenderMan menu.
