This is the third maintenance release of 2021.1, which fixes more bugs and issues - especially a problem when multiple AOVs are saved.
You can find an overview of all new features and improvements of version 2021.1 here.
This version supports all current NVIDIA GPUs with compute model 3.5 or higher. Please make sure to use a NVIDIA Studio driver with version at least 456.38 on Windows or 455.23 on Linux.
Changes since OctaneRender 2021.1.2:
- Added new transmission type "Thin wall (diffuse)" to the universal material. It is meant to be used for thin surfaces like leafs and treats layers of the universal material to be independent of the side of the surfase. I.e. an incoming ray will always enter the topmost layer first.
- Performance optimizations for devices of all supported compute models with the exception of 8.0.
- Fixed saving of AOVs that was ignoring non-cryptomatte AOVs after the export of a cryptomatte AOV.
- Fixed the power input of a texture used as a normal map being evaluated as a normal map (see viewtopic.php?p=409683#p409683).
- Fixed incorrect application of the material layer opacity when emission is used in an universal material, resulting in wrong material layer weights (see viewtopic.php?p=410064#p410064).
- Fixed unnecessary geometry rebuilds when switching between universal camera nodes, if you use vertex displacement and the vertex displacement texture has inputs outside the root of the texture node tree (see viewtopic.php?p=409585#p409585).
- Fixed application crash when using meshes with animated joints and shutter interval set to 0%.
- Fixed incorrect camera parameters of the first frame in certain situations when you do a batch render.
- Fixed a crash when you delete a volumetric light that is connected to a render target and rendering has already started.
- Fixed motion blur in scenes loaded from USD.
- OSL: Fixed crash when using certain
structconstructors in OSL. - OSL:
sqrt(x)returns0forx < 0, as specified by OSL. - OSL: If a geometry input on a Vectron node is not connected, the
_sdfstruct gets the material ID of this node by default.
