Renderman XPU tips or workflow ideas

Ornatrix works well with Renderman for Maya in RIS mode but doesn't appear in XPU mode.

While this isn't a problem with Ornatrix I'm hoping there's a workaround of some sort. 

Can anyone suggest anything? converting the groom to curves maybe?

I'm using Renderman 26 / Maya 2024 / Ornatrix v4.2.3.34897

Thanks

Renderman doesn't load any procedurals in XPU mode, so yes, the only option is to use the CurvesFromStrands or MeshFromStrands operators to convert the hair data to standard geometry.
