Hi all

We're happy to bring you RC 1 of 2022.1.

update (2022/11/3): added the link for Octane X below. This build has support for macOS12 and macOS13.

While we're getting closer to a stable release, we advise to not use this release for production purposes yet.

Changes since 2022.1 XB 4
  • Added new blend mode "Ratio" to the Composite texture
  • Change the default daylight environment ground color from blue to black
  • Improved sampling of environment medium, sun, DOF and time.
  • Made coherent ratio less aggressive.
  • Fix layer weight and albedo on macOS in material preview.
  • Fixed multiple issues with AI light on macOS
  • Improve geometric primitive normals by not welding them and keeping the geometric normals for each poly.
  • Fix normals on the cone and other prismoids of the geometric primitive node.
  • Fixed broken undo for render AOV group nodes.
  • Fixed OSL falling back to intializer first rather than vertex attributes (OSL 4.2.4).
  • Fixed an unexpected spectrum to RGB conversion that happens in the Color correction node. This probably reduced color fidelity if this node was used with a spectral color.
  • Fixed: switching from cylindrical to spherical panoramic camera mode, updates FOV Y to 180deg if it was 90deg.
  • Fix always-black environment pass on macOS
  • Fix bump maps in material previews on macOS
  • Added: printed message that notes which node causes OSL warnings after linking
  • Fixed OSL logb() function on macOS
  • Fixed IOR when hitting a glossy layer on exiting a dielectric.
  • Fixed AO rays hitting clipping materials on macOS.
  • Add correct IOR tracking for shadow rays and use correct IOR values on transitions
  • Slightly lowered priority of clipping materials.
  • Fixed clipping material option on macOS
  • Fixed slight bias in SSS effect on standard surface on macOS
  • Fixed reporting of errors from loading OpenVDB files
  • Fixed hang when importing certain VDBs.
  • Fix GPU failure when adding a Normal texture to an environment texture.
  • Make deep imaging work with photon mapping
  • Linux: The native title bar should now be displayed correctly and the application window should no longer cover the system taskbar and launcher upon appliation start, which were problems encountered on some Linux systems (especially using Gnome)
  • Correctly account for the content component border in LUA windows
  • Fix baking camera hanging on macOS when there is no geometry (or only planes)
Brigade will now be coming as part of a special test release planned for the next couple of weeks.

Great work! Thanks

Could you have a look at my request to implement velocity vectors to the scatter node? That would be great.

Hi Padi,

I suspect the HW has something to do with this problem. Would you be able help us generating a process dump on your machine? Please PM me if you want me to share more instructions.

Thank you.

So just to be sure I understand: You open the application, the splash is shown, the splash disappears, the application window is opened and fully populated and then it crashes before you can do anything?

I tried the voxelizing mesh volume feature on an OBJ (antibody size: 32,995 KB)
Its either taking an extremely long time or has hung.

I tried using task manager to kill it but no luck.

Just checking to see if thios feature is in progress etc. and I should wait to use it in a bit etc.

Thanks

Peter

It's not in progress (it's finished, we haven't had any issue reports) so, thanks for your message. Are you able to share the obj with us privately please? We'll try to figure out what's going on.

I have fully working setup to randomizing different objects from Scatter stack but it is totally unstable while removing nodes even that they are not connected to scatter :
