this release seems to be incredibly stable! no bugs for now.. already tested 7 very complex scenes!!!

Hi Karba, I think there is a bug in this version as in previous versions when it comes to the shadow catcher ~ when I apply a shadow catcher to a ground plane and apply a texture environment, the effect is not honored in reflective surfaces.

What shows up in the reflective surfaces is the default color or the texture of the ground plane, instead of reflecting the full environment with the shadow catcher showing the texture environment as the ground plane..

is there a work around or am I missing something?

Shadow catcher doesn't work with reflections, only with diffuse component.

That will probably be available in 2.x. Don't ask me when.

Hi in this versión I can not get to star to render the scene. very time consuming. in the versión 1.18 starts in seconds. Is a Bug or I do it something bad

And that's what makes it close to pointless.
We need it to be excluded from reflections.

Hi Karba,

is possible to adjust the sphere preview render quality, add a checker background and choose the desired gpu for this task?

thanks.
