Hi, thanks for the release.

Any info when my reported bugs will be solved especially autoscale temperature in volume medium, which has been there for a long time?

Hi,

I posted following bug a while ago in the Houdini-release. Ricky should have reported it to you, since it seems to be a standalone bug. Just checking in here, if there's any update on this.

To recap - it's a bug with analytic lights, which don't work properly. Sometimes some of them get brighter and weirdly washded out as I change another analytic light.
In my example scene there are two analytic lights, when I render them separately it looks as it should be but when both are on at the same time the right one starts to look strange.

Oh and another thing I noticed:
When using the color to UVW projection it doesn't work for bump mapping. But what I found is that it does work with normal maps, so I guess it's a bug and not a limitation, right?

Hey chocbot,

That color to UVW issue seems to have been fixed for the next release afaik, that bug affects the current standalone 2024.1

As for the other issue, it had been logged although can't give you an eta on it.

Alright, thanks for the info!

Do you have any news to give us on Brigade, your real-time system, announced 10 years ago?

Just forget about it, they are not gonna release it because they will lose RNDR customers.

Hello. I got OR Studio+ yesterday! But... the render state loaded is wrong because see:

Save and load render state - test.jpg

The incorrect load render state will be fixed in next version...
