Wow, very nice!

[sharktacos]

Does this include a fix for Cryptomatte with DWA compression?

[sharktacos]

"XGen caches will now use a single file"

Is there more info on this that you can point me to?

[sharktacos]

"Maximal mip-map resolution is now inclusive"

also for this one. Thanks!

[Mihail.Djurev]

"XGen caches will now use a single file"
Our XGen caches used to contain a main vrscene file which included other vrscene files. This caused path problems when the vrscene was moved.
So, now we export all the XGen cache in a single vrscene file, which contains all the relevant data. It doesn't include other vrscenes and is completely portable.

We don't have a fix for DWA compression with cryptomatte yet. We'll post in the other thread when it's ready.

Sorry! Stupid question, but where are the night builds links?
I cant find them.

I cant find them.

There should be "stable" nightlies at the usual location. If you've had access to them before, you should still have access to them now.

Thank you I cant find them.
I need to have a look where the link to them is.


Edit:
I found the nightlies files.
Thank you!
