Version 4.0- XB4-test1 (Experimental) Tweet

[aoktar]

Hi All,
This is next test/preview release of plugin which is based on V4-XB4 SDK. We recommend that you mention that it is experimental, they should not use it for production work, and that we cannot guarantee backward compatibility.

Please see this thread for V4 features: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=66013
Standalone V4 XB4: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=68283

Important notes:
Since XB2 Preview, we have dropped support for Fermi cards.
Network render is still disabled.
Denoiser does not denoise volumes or hairs yet.
Denoiser is under Camera Imager from Settings or Camera Tags. Just denoised beauty pass is available in plugin, others will be added.

Changes of V4-XB4

Changes of V4-XB3
- Help support for the Nodes in Node Editor
- Geometry Engine default changed to "All Movable"

Does not support Net Render?

(Standalone : Network render is now reinstated, but without AI Light updates, while it is being finalised.)
