OctaneRender™ Standalone 3.06.3

Thu Jun 15, 2017 3:04 am

Hi all,

During the work on 3.07 and 3.10 we stumbled upon a few more bugs, we would like to have fixed as soon as possible, which is why are releasing another update in the 3.06 development cycle:

Changes since version 3.06.2:

Fixed missing geometry update if some transformations are added to an initially empty scatter node.
Fixed loading of palletized images into the alpha image texture node, which was basically ignoring the alpha channel in those cases.
Fixed incorrect loading of extra UVs, which caused triangles with only 0 or 1 UV sets to be treated as triangles with multiple UV sets, which increased memory usage and reduced render performance by a couple percent.
Fixed numerical issues in reflections of specular surfaces, if the incoming ray is exactly perpendicular to the surface. This created for example a lot of noise on a horizontal plane if the sun would stand exactly in zenith.
Fixed incorrect warning in the batch render scripts if %p is not in the file name template, but multi-pass EXRs are saved.
Fixed unhandled exception if a render result of a scene with no geometry is saved together with image metadata.
