Welcome to RenderMan 22.6. This release introduces improvements to the previous RenderMan.
Please dive right into the release notes below for more detailed information on the latest version of your favorite renderer!
Some recent changes to the API will require a recompile for custom plugins. |
Improved performance when large numbers of trace membership groups are used
Silence an error message from PxrCamera if the "matte" parameter is set to an empty string
The simplified PxrPerspective projection now supports the same fovEnd parameter (for motion blurred zoom) as the full-featured PxrCamera
Replacing inputAov with utilityPattern on PxrMarschnerHair. utilityPattern supports an arbitrary amount of connections (like on PxrSurface)
Fixed bug causing bxdf parameters with arraylength > 1 to potentially cause a crash or not execute properly
Fixed a bug in PxrUnified where volume scattering would require larger maxPathLength values than expected, and would appear in the incorrect LPE. PxrUnified should now yield renders that are more consistent with PxrPathTracer
An issue that may cause NaNs to appear or produce different results when using the aaOceanPrmanShader pattern has been fixed
Fixed a bug where recovering from a checkpoint when display filters are active and asrgba is set could reload some channels incorrectly
Fixed a crash with batched OSL when trying to compile a texture shadeop with uniform T-coordinate inputs
Fixed a bug when recovering Cryptomatte images when manual cropping or autocropping is in effect
Fixed a bug when validating the data window of recovered images against the expected data window due to cropping
A bug that caused blocky artifacts when using PxrMayaFluidShape's edgeDropoff parameter has been fixed. In addition, density values are now more accurately retained when used as the opacity input
Fix a hang in PxrCryptomatte when trying to recover a checkpoint that does not exist
A bug that caused points with velocity in an alembic file to not motion blur in some cases has been fixed
Added projection DOF query from RixRenderState::GetOption as Ri:DepthOfField
Deformation motion blurred volumes don't currently work with densityFloatPrimVar or densityColorPrimVar. You will need to use a PxrPrimVar node connected to densityFloat and densityColor instead
The Centos KDE style "Oxygen" installs a version of Qt and sets the user's environment variable QT_PLUGIN_PATH forcing "it" and LocalQueue to attempt to load an incompatible Qt library. Either avoid installing the Oxygen theme or unset QT_PLUGIN_PATH before running "it" or LocalQueue. Other KDE styles may also install this theme. |
