Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Chaos Cloud client application installer updated to version 1.6.0
• V-Ray no longer prevents Rhino from accepting images dragged over its viewport
• Vrmesh, vrscene and alembic files can now be drag and dropped directly from Windows explorer to the Rhino viewport. A proxy reference geometry is automatically created in the scene
• Layer visibility changes during interactive rendering now correctly affect sub-layers object visibility
• Embree now automatically optimizes fur and motion blur rendering. Enabling the Embree checkbox will ensure that both fur strands and motion blurred frames are rendered in an optimal way
• A number of small improvements are introduced to the default V-Ray Settings
• Displacement parameter changes now reliably update during interactive rendering
• Rhino ground planes using a Wrapper or an Override V-Ray material are no longer rendered black
• Dropdown menus in the V-Ray object properties panel are now correctly sized on systems with custom display scaling (mostly affecting high DPI systems)
• Modifying a custom sunlight during interactive rendering no longer breaks its connection to the V-Ray Sky environment map
• The anti-aliasing filter type and size are no longer reset when a project is saved and then re-opened
• The way Rhino camera parameters are translated to the V-Ray camera is optimized and improved
• Batch rendering a sequence of vrscene files no longer outputs image files with double frame numbering
• VFB Color corrections and lens effect properties are automatically reset when Rhino is restarted. Only the VFB history settings are preserved
• Proxy viewport mesh previews are now correctly recreated on Snapshot restore
• VFB dropdown menus no longer sink behind the main window on Windows 7 and 8.1
• Converting unnamed Rhino materials to V-Ray ones no longer causes a crash
• Restoring snapshots with hidden V-Ray proxies (mesh or scene proxies) no longer causes a crash
• V-Ray now correctly renders non-repeating (disabled tiling) Rhino textures
• Selecting objects in a parallel projection view no longer causes random interactive updates
• Replacing one Rhino material with another one by drag and dropping it now correctly updates the scene during interactive rendering
• Modifying unassigned materials no longer causes interactive updates
• The camera lens shift is no longer ignored after Rhino camera parameters are manually adjusted

V-Ray for Grasshopper

• The Light Rig Dome no longer produces differences between the background directly visible to the camera and parts viewed through refraction
• The V-Ray Exporter component’s Open function now works with animated file sequences
• Proxy mesh loading in Grasshopper is optimized
• An issue preventing the Material from File component context from appearing is resolved
• Incorrect output connections are no longer established when upgrading old V-Ray light components
• Improved precision when picking the current frame of the Timeline component

Hi konstantin_chaos , thank you for the new update, it's downloading here. I read that some V-Ray plugins got RTX support per current nightly. Doe's this update also support RTX based enhancements?

[J@R]

Hi J,

The rendering GH animations together with the Rhino project is the next item in our list and will make it in the next update.


Best regards,
Konstantin

Has this feature been implemented? is that what the V-Ray exporter component update is?

Hi,
The feature you've mentioned here will make it in the next update release.
Update 1.1 is just a hotfix and does not include it.

Hi MIcha,
The RTX ray-trace enhancements are not part of the hotfix.
They'll soon be added to V-Ray for 3ds Max and the Rhino side implementation will follow.
