This is a maintenance update of OctaneRender 2.1x.
Changes since version 2.11.1:
- Improved node inspector by providing a compact view of uncollapsed node pins. Also changed the default expansion logic to reduce the clutter.
- Added pin descriptions as tooltips.
- Fixed broken layout after a pane got minimized and Octane was closed.
- Fixed node stack groups containing unconnected pins.
- Enabled PMC for Maxwell 2 GPUs.
- Fixed performance regression in PMC kernel introduced with version 2.11.
- Fixed/improved displacement mapping with negative offsets.
- Fixed self-shadowing of objects with matte material.
- Fixed post-processing glare.
- Removed "tonemapped EXR" option from OpenEXR save dialog.
- Making sure that at least one render pass is viewed and if the currently viewed pass gets disabled, fall back to the main beauty pass.
- Fixed rendering of object ID / material ID passes at the same time.
- Switched to a newer version of the network library used for network rendering fixing low transfer rates on some Win7 computers.
- Fixed missing initialization of Winsock library which may cause net render daemon discovery or the daemons to fail.
- Fixed a crash in Octane if a daemon gets enabled on the same computer as the master.
- Added option "logarithmic" to
octane.scriptgraph.setInputLinkers(). - Added render pass support in Lua:
-
octane.render.getAllRenderPassIds() -
octane.render.getAllRenderPassesStatistics() -
octane.render.saveRenderPassesMultiExr() -
octane.render.setDisplayRenderPassId()
-
- Added batch render script.
- Reduced error messages in net render daemon.
- Fixed crash when an internal script is run while no user scripts are provided (or the user script directory is invalid).
- Fixed parsing of Lua script headers.
- Fixed internal Lua scripts.
We fixed a few more issues introduced with 2.12 and are releasing another small update:
- Fixed material and texture preview.
