This is a maintenance update for version 2, fixing bugs and issues reported on the forum.
Changes since version 2.03:
- Added new parameter "GI Clamp" to the path-tracing and the PMC kernels. It clamps the contribution for each path to the specified value. By reducing the "GI clamp" value, you can reduce the amount of fireflies caused by sparse but very strongly contributing paths, i.e. it reduces noise by removing energy. "Caustic blur", on the other hand, reduces noise by blurring caustics, but conserves energy.
- Fixed some visible gaps between displacement triangles.
- Files coming from different directories but with the same file name are now de-duplicated when they are saved into a package.
- Fixed update problems when sub-sampling is used.
- Disabled implicit alpha channel that was used in the info channel kernel, fixing weird borders when alpha channel is disabled.
- Fixed incorrect brightness when sub-sampling was used and the minimum display samples was > 1.
- Fixed incorrect sampling of the material preview, which should make it clear up much faster.
- Increased maximum path depths in the PMC kernel to 2048.
- Enable log flag "netRender" in release builds. Should be used to help us debugging net rendering, particularly the cases where maximum samples is never reached. In case you experience this problem and want to help, you can find an explanation of what needs to be done here: http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 68#p196168
