Improvements & Bug Fixe

• Integration
  • An issue preventing in-app EULA acceptance is resolved. The V-Ray installer no longer fails to create and set access to the required directories
  • An issue preventing UNC paths that start with a double backslashes (\\networkLocation\...) from being automatically resolved is fixed
  • Rhino decals are now rendered correctly when the CUDA or RTX engine is used. The decal texture is no longer repeated outside of the decal projector
  • An issue preventing the Live Link from functioning correctly in specific projects is resolved. Scenes containing a Cryptomatte render elements can now be viewed and interacted with in both Vision and Vantage
  • The Rhino decal stack order is now respected by V-Ray. A restart of the interactive rendering process is required for any changes to have an effect
  • Creating a V-Ray Decal in the Asset Editor no longer leads to an invalid and invisible viewport gizmo to appear
  • An issue preventing spherical and cylindrical Rhino Decals from being rendered correctly is resolved
  • Scatter now correctly responds to changes of the host mesh’s normals direction
  • The V-Ray menu option Convert to Scatter Host now calls the correct command - vrayScatter
  • An issue causing incorrect rendering of Grasshopper surfaces is resolved. There is no longer need for a meshing node to be placed between the surface and V-Ray Geometry components
  • An issue preventing the Export Animation feature of the Live Link component from working correctly with Vantage is resolved
  • An issue caused by using the ‘Reset to Defaults’ function for a V-Ray material in Rhino’s materials list is resolved. Using the reset followed by changing the material’s type (to Custom for example) no longer leaves a corrupted V-Ray material (one that gets duplicated on application) in the Asset Editor
• UI
  • The system that establishes a connection between the Asset Editor and the preview render process is improved. This avoids situations in which the preview is not working because of an unstable connection
  • An issue causing the File Path Editor to hang in specific situations when there is a missing file in the list is resolved
  • The Swarm Auto-Discovery option is now disabled by default. This avoids issues causing none of the Swarm tags to be listed, making it impossible to use the Swarm manager
  • An issue causing unnecessary scrolling to be automatically performed in the Assets Outliner is resolved. Selecting an asset in a long list no longer causes incorrect scrolling on systems with custom UI scaling
  • Deleting the Bump attribute of a material no longer deletes child textures instantiated in other material slots
  • The Log Window’s filter source labels are improved
• Vision
  • Auto-Exposure is now applied when a Standard image is exported
  • Auto-Exposure is now applied when one of the VR Camera Type output options is selected
  • Output file names that contain Unicode characters no longer cause the Video export to fail
• V-Ray Core
  • The render progress is now always displayed correctly in the VFB's status bar
  • An issue causing a memory leak with GPU Light Cache is resolved
  • An issue causing a misplaced render region to be rendered after loading images directly from the VFB history is resolved
  • An issue leading to a crash in specific situations when a Cryptomatte render element is used in a project is resolved
  • A number of interactive update issues caused by the new SSS and Volumetric translucency modes of the VRay Mtl are resolved
  • An issue preventing Light Mix from working correctly on GPU when the camera Auto Exposure is also enabled is resolved
  • An issue causing material bump maps to appear reversed when viewed in reflections is resolved
