V-Ray 1.46.15 available for download

[vlado]

Build 1.46.15 - 12 March 2005:

Modified features:
(*) A new mode, Progressive path tracing has been added to the light cache. See the tutorial for a discussion.

Bug fixes:
(*) Crashes with dynamic geometry (VRayProxy, VRayFur, displacement etc), especially on dual hyper-threading machines.
(*) Glass with the Affect shadows option on could cause splotches with VRayLights.
(*) Skylight portals could hang with the light cache.
(*) Mapped IORs in the VRayMtl greater than 1.0 didn't work.
(*) The VRay VFB didn't overwrite files when the resolution of the existing file is different from the VFB resolution.
(*) Small memory leak for each rendered image (4-16Kb) removed.
(*) Meshes with 0 faces and 0 vertices could cause problems in Dynamic geometry mode.
(*) Increasing photon or light cache subdivs above 1100 did not have any visible effect.
(*) Crashes when the 3dsmax resolution is different from the VRay one and saving to file is required.
(*) Irradiance map very slow with motion blur and subdiv surfaces.

Indeed. I'm delightfully surprised that this was included in a point release for free.

i´m at home now and not in the office...unfortunenately i can´t test the new version now. question: can we use the new light cache method (unbiased) with DR ?

[corey]

Nice work Vlado.

It looks the PPT works with DR...I heading into work in a little while to check on some things...I'll test it unless I hear otherwise.

...thanks a lot for the new version, it rocks...!
hey, but you forgot the color mapping 'gamma correct' in the roadmap...
what's the meaning of this feature?

best regards

I think that refers to the request of Rob from digital dimension. http://www.chaoticdimension.com/foru...ic.php?t=10854
So practically it is linear, only it adjust your screenview.

unbiased progressive path tracing?
looks like a maxwell rendering mode. nice.
it doesn't seem to work with DR though.

[RErender]

Does unbiased mean that given the same amount of time the result will always be the same?

[tom schuelke]

Unbiased rather means

each pixel gets renderd on its own, no tricks at al that could raly speed up.

but for this perfect computed images if you wait enoug long as with maxwell

hmm can be saved and used for i-map afterwords.
