- Improved ForestPack and MultiScatter detection.
- Improved bump mapping for highly specular glossy materials and for specular materials
- Improved normal interpolation of poorly triangulated geometry when viewed at shallow angles
- CUDA devices are not available/used if CUDA driver has wrong version (i.e. is too old)
- Diffuse transmissive materials with a medium inside are rendered correctly with alpha shadows enabled.
- Fixed addition of render devices while being paused.
- Fixed incorrect alpha transparency when diffuse and transmission are zero
- Improved noise reduction of diffuse materials with transmission
- Fixed kernel failure when you try to render a very small image with PMC
- Matte material is now only applied on the first bounce, i.e. the indirect effects of the matte object stay the same
- Improved bump/normal mapping for diffuse and glossy materials
- Added camera lens distortion parameter.
- Fixed black rendering with directlighting when both glossy and specular depth are set to 1.
Limitations on old cards
The PMC kernel and the matte material options don't work on old graphics cards (GTX 2xx, compute model < 2.0).
