Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Chaos Cloud client application installer updated to version 1.6.0
• Consistent render elements are automatically enabled for old and new scenes. This new method for distributing and storing light contribution in the render elements resolves artifacts caused by the adaptive Dome light
• An issue preventing the Batch Rendering process to be started after being interrupted once is resolved
• Colorized textures no longer cause issues when connected to a bump material slot
• Clippers applied to components or groups containing no faces or only grouped geometry are automatically removed
• The Cap CPU Utilization Swarm option can now be utilized for batch rendering
• An issue causing interactive rendering crash on Normal Displacement parameter change is resolved
• Saving or auto-saving a SketchUp project no longer restarts ongoing progressive production or interactive rendering process
• Imported image objects are now rendered using the correct Screen (sRGB) color space
• A number of issues caused by a Parallel Projection viewport combined with the Match Viewport Output option are resolved
• Educational (Edu) builds no longer render VRScan materials with watermark even when a VRScan license is present
• Fixed an issue with preventing the output images from being saved to the Desktop on macOS
• Environment variables can now be set specifically for V-Ray for SketchUp on macOS by editing a config file located at /Applications/ChaosGroup/V-Ray/V-Ray\ for\ SketchUp/extensions/config.json. If multiple variables are added they need to be separated by commas.
• V-Ray toolbars on macOS no longer have some of their buttons persistently grayed out until a random action is taken

V-Ray Scene Importer

• A number of issues affecting imported object’s UV coordinates (texture placement) are resolved. The importer now correctly handles 3ds Max primitives as well as Editable Mesh objects
• A number of issues related to imported Proxy Mesh object scaling are resolved
• Logic for auto-resolving file paths for the imported vrscene is implemented. Proxy references with invalid paths will be automatically relinked if their source file is found (in the same location as the vrscene file)
• The overall stability and reliability of the scene importer is improved
